Re: Who Do You Blame for Your Energy Lemon?

I definitely don't think green home building is just a fad. I do feel like "going green" may be a fad, but I think it will stick in the home building arena. This is because it saves homeowners money. And no matter how little someone cares about the environment, they probably care about saving money. Which is why I think a sticker is a good idea. People forget to think about the long-term cost of a home (in bills and such), and they may buy cheaply, only to later find out that it is a money trap. I think everyone deserves to know what a home will really cost them, and the "sticker," with information provided by a HERS rater, is the easiest way to do it.
