Dispelling the Myths

Myth #1:

Green building is too expensive.
There are many strategies for inexpensive green building, from right-sizing the structure to optimal value engineering to reduce waste.

Myth #2:

Green building is all about material selection.
Material choices are factors, but site selection and energy performance are equally important.

Myth #3:

Green building products don't work as well.
Experts agree that new green products work as well as, if not better than, their traditional counterparts.

Myth #4:

Green products are hard to find.
The number of green products and systems that are available has grown exponentially over the past few years.

Myth #5:

Green homes are "weird" or "ugly."
It's honestly hard to tell the difference these days. Even solar power can be integrated in attractive and effective ways.

Myth #6:

Building a green home is too complicated.
Green building begins with a tight building envelope; the rest of it is not rocket science.

Myth #7:

To get into green building, you have to sign up for some sort of program or third-party certification.
Not true. Mostly, building green is about making smart choices.

Myth #8:

It's an all-or-nothing proposition.
Most builders employ some green techniques and continue to add more each year. It's simply a matter of how far you want to go with the idea.
