High tech homes used to focus primarily on giving the owner all of the conveniences dreamed of in old sci-fi movies. However, today going high tech may have a different meaning for many homeowners. Green technologies have moved to the forefront of the battle for homebuyers.
The trade show ‘Chicago Market: Living and Giving’, was recently held at the Merchandise Mart. Homebuilders, architects, and many others were out in force to see the latest design and technology breakthroughs in the area of Green building.
Those showing their wares at the Merchandise Mart ranged from people recycling things that would usually be thrown away into useful pieces for the home to those showcasing the latest developments in environmentally friendly technology for the home.
Many homeowners are looking for ideas to get their home more environmentally friendly, while others are simply unable to cope with the rising price for heating oil and electricity. Green features in a home can save owners hundreds of dollars a year.
Chicago Homes with energy saving glass, doors, insulation, and other features are getting more attention from buyers looking to save a few dollars every year.
