TO OUR DEALERS AND SHOWROOMS - WHY IT ALL MATTERS:
The floor covering dealer and contractor can no longer ignore the growing demand for green building. A recent study by the National Association of Home Builders found that 40% of builders find building green makes it easier to market in a down economy and 60% of builders claim homebuyers are willing to pay more for green homes. Moreover, 21% of home builders expect to be building 90% of projects green! The floor covering dealer who understands the green building standards and where flooring fits into those standards will be in a better position to take advantage of these new opportunites.
In addition, an increasing number of states and municipalities have mandates that new construction meet one of the rating systems. Mandates regarding green building standards have recently been implemented in Boston, New York, Dallas and Los Angeles. The requirements under these laws vary from city to city. For example, New York City's Green Building Law requires most city-owned and city funded buildings be LEED silver certified!
In addition, some states and local governments provide tax incentives for commercial or residential buildings that meet green standards. For example, New Mexico and New York offer a personal and business tax credit applicable to both commercial and residential buildings. Some city and state governments offer grants or loans to private developers that incorporate green design standards into new or existing commercial or residential buildings.
