What\u2019s more, 22 percent of builders say they always or almost always have their homes certified to a green standard, according to a new survey of 337 single-family builders conducted by the National Association of Home Builders. Every builder who responded to the survey reported using at least one green product or practice.<\/p>\n

The most commonly used green product used by builders is energy-efficient windows, which 95 percent of the surveyed builders reported using. Ninety-two percent of builders reported using high efficiency HVAC systems, and 88 percent said they incorporate programmable thermostats.<\/p>\n

The survey also found that builders who always or almost always report having their homes certified to a green standard\u2014such as Energy<\/a> Star, LEED, or programs run by state or local jurisdictions\u2014use, on average, 11.9 green products or practices. Builders who never or rarely have their homes certified still report using 9.1 green products in a new-home build.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis suggests that the homes of many more builders might be able to qualify for a green certification,\u201d the National Association of Home Builders notes on its Eye on Housing<\/a> blog.<\/p>\n
