Abstract

"When people look into buying or retrofitting a home or other building, they consider purchase price (the first price tag), number of rooms, floor plan and the overall look. Buyers increasingly consider the "second price tag," which includes a building's operation and maintenance costs. They ask questions about utility bills, maintenance, durability, indoor air quality, comfort and generally how the building will perform. These programs can help you see the value of both price tags, whether you're building or buying. Their guidelines take an integrated, whole-systems approach and address the energy and natural resources requirements for construction, operation and maintenance. They recognize the effects buildings can have on the environment and the pocketbook."--First page.
