The auto industry has done an absolutely terrific job educating the market on the importance of energy savings – in terms of gas consumption. With the advent of hybrid vehicles, cars can run longer with less money spent on fuel (energy).
There is a relatively similar concept in the new home sector, and it’s called Energy Star for New Homes. Basically, the more “efficient” your new home runs, the more money you save on monthly operating costs, such as heat, hydro, gas, and the like.
For a mere extra $5000 to $10,000 or so on the price of a new home build, you can have your home officially certified and labelled as Energy Star from the Ontario government. What that will do is end up saving you tens of thousands of dollars of the years. If people today are spending up to $20,000 more for a hybrid vehicle to save a mere $50 or $100 per month on gasoline, why aren’t homeowners spending $5000 to $10,000 on building an Energy Star home in order to save tens of thousands of dollars over the years?
