With a great emphasis on environmental
concerns, the energy-efficient properties are being preferred a lot by people
from an investment point of view as well as a personal point of view. They fetch a
high price in the real estate market. Green energy-efficient homes come with a
premium cost as they have upgrades which help in reducing the utility bills as
well as the maintenance cost. This also improves the quality of one’s life.
Green homes offer a number of health benefits and they are also quite
comfortable. Thus, energy efficiency in residential properties is considered to
be a good investment. It fetches a lot of financial benefits. You enjoy monthly
savings as well as future profits once you sell the property.
Benefits Of Green Housing
Talking about the
benefits of the green building projects and Infrastructure
Fundraising, let’s look at the example of an upgraded insulation of the attic. The
renovation of attic insulation was one of the most beneficial and profitable
upgrade of energy efficiency for the homeowners. During the project of the attic
insulation, the attic flooring is sealed for preventing the air to escape the
interior of the house in the attic or loose filling insulation made of fiber is
added till the insulation reaches a particular level.
The profitability of upgrades of insulation of
the attic depends majorly on climate where you are residing. These kinds of projects
prove to be profitable when you resale the property.
While the other most common
projects for which infrastructure
equity funds are used don’t always give the expected return on investments. Still,
they may help in adding a prominent proportion of the initial cost of
installation to the overall market value of the property. For instance, when
you invest in the upgrade which helps in improving the insulation and sealing
of the house, like new doors, sealing, siding, etc you may be able to recover
about 75-83% of cost of installment when you resale the property.
How Does It Increase The Resale Value?
Oil and gas mergers and acquisitions have led to a lot of developments. Also, replacing the old HVAC system
with an advanced system may help in adding approximately 71% of the overall price of
the property. Improvements in insulation and sealing thanks to the different oil
& gas m&a, also help in
reducing the cost of getting a new HVAC system. It basically reduces the size
of the HVAC system. So overall, even though the resale value of the energy-efficient systems may not be 100% always and generate a positive return on
investments by themselves, the savings in the utility bills may prove to be
beneficial for you.
