Invest in the Future With a Green Home
    You want the best for your family, and a home is the biggest purchase you'll ever make.
    A green home is an investment in the future - your future and your family's. State-of-the-art features of a built green home can keep every room in the house at an optimal comfort level and still save money on the energy bill. Better materials can mean excellent indoor air quality and better health for everyone under the roof. And the roof itself can last decades longer, saving money in the long run.
    Thousands of New Mexico homes will be green homes over the next couple of years. And that's good for all of us, because Green Builder homes can cut house-hold resource use to a fraction.
    As New Mexico grows, the Green Builder program can help us use our resources more wisely. A xeriscaped yard can provide a beautiful landscape and reduce water needs. An upgraded insulation and sealing package can keep the family warm and cut use of fossil fuels. New, energy-efficient windows can bring more natural light into the home and cut lighting costs.
    Green Builder member companies have made a commitment to build high-quality homes while protecting the environment.
    Chances are, you're one of the majority of Americans who value the environment. Home construction consumes a tremendous amount of energy and other resources, and your household energy use probably creates more pollution than your cars. The good news is that Green Builder homes can cut use of resources and provide a better and more comfortable home that can save money.
