WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A NEW HOME
There are plenty of things that the homebuyers need to look for to save energy (and money).
First, work with a certified green builder. Ron Hulbert, president of green certified R.S. Hulbert Builders of Richmond, suggests homeowners get a green certification from a third- party company such as EarthCraft House Virginia. "The third party organization will inspect and do all the required tests on the home during construction to assure their guidelines are met," he says. "Right now there's something called 'green washing' which means builders will work on the home in the cheapest way and consider themselves green-but it's not certified."
