A new study conducted by GuildQuality that was commissioned by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) shows that homeowners who purchased a National Green Building Standard-certified home in the past three years are happy they did. The survey found:
- 94 percent of the homeowners would recommend a green home to a friend;
- 92 percent would purchase another green home; and
- 71 percent believe green homes are of higher quality than a non-green home.
