Homeowners Are Saving Money With Florida Green Homes

By Della Monroe


These days the skyrocketing cost of utilities can cause the immediate future to appear grim for individuals, families, and even corporations who are struggling to make ends meet. The basic requirements of poverty for a family or individual to get any assistance are becoming more narrow. For this reason alone, new homeowners are taken through a presentation by the corporation Florida Green Homes.

Floridians, like people everywhere, want to be able to pay less and get more from the goods and services that they purchase. Considering the fact that these same Floridians pay astronomical sums for electricity due to the fact that they reside in a state that stays overly-warm and humid all year long, and you have a group of people who truly need more efficient dwellings. Central air conditioning can consume a great deal of electricity in a month.

On social media, the current homesteading trend is the micro-house idea which allows you to build a two-story loft-style A-frame structure on the back of a residential flat-bed trailer. For families with growing children, micro-houses are just not ideal, and not everyone envies a small A-frame at an RV park as their housing solution. However, both the three-bed two-bath house, as well as the A-frame micro-house, should be built to the FGBC standard.

The Florida Green Building Coalition is the primary entity providing certifications of standards and materials in the Florida building industry. Now that people know about these more-efficient homes, living in one has become very trendy. It helps that most of these eco-friendly dwellings are located in the fancier suburban parts of town.

Multi-family dwellings are also being built with this technology, which is showing a monumental savings to young people. Apartments are generally regarded as more energy-efficient than large homes anyway. You make that apartment building up to the FGBC standards, and the utilities incurred for that dwelling will be nominal.

As public buildings, high-rises, and McDonalds restaurant chain stores start being built up to these environmental standards, scientists are hoping to being seeing a large reduction in the chlorofluorocarbon signature. Employees will appreciate the 30% reduction in their utility bill when that 30% is applied to their bill.

In Palm Beach county Boca, the FGBC is now located within their University Park. It has turned out to be one of the most impressive buildings in the country with four-stories and 159 separate units for the students to sleep and study. The common areas and study hall locations are appealing both aesthetically and socially, and it allows students to congregate without bothering faculty or other students.

The younger generation has a better understanding of the environmental issues than we do, and they are ready to truly do something about it. Environmental Engineering has fast become one of the most popular college majors. Nothing is more beautiful than seeing groups of engineering students watching the professionals cut tile before making their way to a class where they help to design the smart-tiles that will be installed at the same time.
