ABSTRACT: Costs, inexperienced personnel, lack of education, and adaptability to its surrounding area are what seems to fuel the pessimists of the residential new construction industry as to why green building just cannot become commonplace. The research that follows will look into the future market for constructing new green single-family homes in the state of Florida. The first question researched was whether the residential green market has increased at consistent rates with the commercial sector of new construction. The author believes the production of green homes has not grown at the same rate as green commercial buildings, which was proven in this paper. Green residential construction has gained market growth at a rate of 32% while some forms of commercial construction are growing at a rate above 60%. The second question to research is what certifications are available to Florida homes for becoming green. This paper examines LEED Homes, NAHB Green Building Standards, and Florida Green Building Coalition standards. A group of experts has been questioned on their feelings and opinions as far as the future of green homes production in Florida. The researcher examines all information such as government intervention, homebuyer education, and importance of major players in the construction industry that may increase the future production of green homes in Florida.

ABSTRACT: Green building in the residential sector has potential to improve the value of the housing market by making homes more affordable and giving industry professionals a competitive edge. Homeowner's may find that building a green home is a worthy investment in today's economic climate of unstable energy prices, home values, and investment opportunities. Home developers and contractors may find that building green homes makes business sense by gaining a competitive edge and market differentiation. The major hindrance of mainstreaming green building can be attributed to the lack of accurate and thorough financial and economic information available. The arguable misconception that green buildings cost more to construct and maintain, coupled with the ambiguity of current data regarding life cycle costing, have turned many developers and contractors away from green building, thus falling back on conventional code compliant means and methods.

It is difficult to find an area of public policy more plagued by misunderstanding than energy policy. Even worse, every time the subject is raised, we are obligated to get mired in pointless arguments about the weather. This book helps set the record straight. Not convinced? Consider some of these inconvenient truths: The cost of green energy climate remediation is anywhere from 10-to-1,000 times greater than the damage from the climate change it attempts to alleviate. Germany, the worlds leader in solar energy, will spend more than $280 billion by 2030 on solar subsidies. But all of that investment will only forestall 22nd century global warming by 37 hours. Obamas carbon tax would cost Americans $1.2 trillion over just ten years. But it would only reduce the midrange 3 degree modeled 22nd century global temperature increase by 0.038 degrees Celsius. At their current emissions growth rate, it will take China nine months to replace the entire U.S. emissions cut that Obama wants to achieve over seven years, at a staggering cost in American jobs and lost economic growth. The U.S. biofuel program imposes a cost on consumers 9,862 times greater than any climate benefit they or their distant progeny will ever derive. This is not another skeptical global warming polemic but an economic evaluation of how and why green energy will fail. The world has too many pressing needs. For the money Obama squandered on just a single bankrupt crony solar company, the U.S. could have prevented 300,000 childhood malaria deaths in poor countries. A thoroughly researched, heavily documented book by an expert in his field, it will demonstrate in meticulous detail how wasteful and economically inefficient Obamas green energy dead end future will be compared to other worthy alternatives. Its time to end the hysterical climate cynicism and get on humanitys side.
