What are "sustainable" home building features?
Some features of sustainable buildings typically
noticeable to homeowners include the integration of
natural daylight for lighting purposes, high indoor air
quality, and reduced utility bills. Features that may
not be noticeable include use of finishes and materials
low in volatile organic compounds that improve indoor
air quality, increased productivity and comfort for home
occupants, and the use of locally produced materials to
support the local economy.
