Green Living can save you money by sourcing state, local, utility, and federal incentives and policies that promote renewable energy and energy efficiency.

Green Living, LLC can help projects save or earn money in seven ways: Tax rebates; LEED incentives; recycling the core and shell of existing buildings; using energy-efficient devices; maximizing natural energy sources; building on HAZMAT and Superfund sites; and calculating the intangible benefits of green construction.

At the federal level examples include an energy-efficient commercial buildings tax deduction, a business energy reduction tax credit, an energy-efficient appliance tax credit for manufacturers, and a new energy-efficient tax credit for green-savvy builders.

When planning your project, consider the tax implications, rebate offers and soft benefits associated with environmentally friendly construction. Construction companies may not be eligible for these on buildings they construct for others, but building owners and any subcontractors used on the projects are.

It is most cost-effective to consider green elements before beginning construction, but some elements such as solar panels can be added to existing buildings.
