Green homes, which comprised 17% of the overall residential construction market in 2011, are expected to grow to between 29% and 38% of the market by 2016, according to a new study released last week at the International Builders’ Show. This equates to a fivefold increase, from $17 billion in 2011 to between $87 and $114 billion in 2016, based on the five-year forecast for overall residential construction. In addition, the reported costs of building a green home have gone down significantly. Builders report that the extra expense of constructing a high-performance home is now 7%, as compared with 10% in 2008 and 11% in 2006.
