The North Carolina Building Performance Association (NCBPA) released a report in conjunction with the National Association of Home Builders that found a 9.5% premium for high performance homes sold in three of the state’s metro markets, in addition to other benefits, such as improved health, safety, comfort, durability, and lower utility bills.

The NCBPA report follows on the heels of the first of its kind—a California appraiser-driven study released by Build It Green and funded by Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), which showed that green-certified homes in California commanded a higher sales price, even though market barriers often prevented the full value of the home’s green features from being recognized.
