“Green” Homes
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008
I’ve been casually interested for a while in the notion of environmentally-friendly, energy efficient houses. I’m not in a position to be building a house, but I like the idea that if I was in such a position, I could build just such a house. I’ve also often thought that there could be a business opportunity in this.
Since changing my career last year and getting into the building industry, I have both become more interested, and less excited in this idea. As I now work in this industry, in theory I’m much closer to being able to learn what one would need to know to embark on this kind of project. But having worked in the building industry for a short while now, I am also getting an idea of just how difficult this kind of project would be.
Scott Adams reminded me of this with his recent post on the same topic. It is sad that there appears to be no real demand for green homes. And from my small experience, I have to agree with this assessment.
I also agree that the biggest issue is that there is so much FUD surrounding this topic, people just give up. ‘Tis a shame.
