Direct Benefits of Energy Efficiency

By Andy Meeks, July 11, 2018

Energy efficient home design and green building techniques do more than just reduce the impacts on our climate and limited natural resources. They provide a quieter, more comfortable, and healthy indoor environment that is also more durable and longer lasting than conventional homes.

A more efficient home is also less expensive to operate and will lower your monthly bills. Homes with these features are likely to see higher resale values, providing for a solid return on investment. See the graphic below for a nice summary of estimated paybacks of various home efficiency upgrades, and visit Earth Advantage and Energy Trust of Oregon for much more useful information.

I’ve had a lifelong passion for helping improve our natural world, and have dedicated my career to that purpose.

Earlier this year, I became an accredited Earth Advantage Broker and by doing so have committed to staying current on, and communicating the value and benefits of, high performance homes and efficient building design.
