A LEED certified home allows a homeowner to reside in a healthier living environment and experience measurable energy savings. A home should be a haven from everyday stresses, and having a home with even greater benefits for its occupants and the environment is an added bonus. However, builders should take advantage of this growing market by connecting with a local LEED for Homes Provider or USGBC chapter for more information. Being a knowledgeable advocate for clients and the environment will be crucial for builders in the years to come. DJ: I believe that homeowners benefit the most from the LEED for Home program.

I like the detail on the 8 categories for points. In your opinion, who benefits most from LEED for Homes: home builders or buyers? As a side note, we did a similar LEED for Homes summary last month at http://www.timberlake.com/green/leed-for-homes.asp. Keep putting out the good content!
