We’ve explored why people are building and buying green homes. But what exactly do we mean by the term “green home?” Reading the first chapter, you might surmise that there are many possible definitions, depending on what features a builder includes in a home and what rating or certification system a builder uses.

Power” ratings for green homes, as there are for cars, home appliances and so many other consumer products, so to some degree you’re on your own in looking for a green home.

This is an excerpt from Jerry Yudelson’s book, Choosing Green: The Home Buyers Guide to Good Green Homes.
