In 2011, green homes made up roughly 17 percent of the market and is expected to reach two out of five homes by 2016, according to the report.
The biggest attribute to a green home is energy efficiency, of course. Ninety percent of homeowners surveyed said energy efficiency is important because of personal values, and because of lower energy bills. Other eco-friendly factors include indoor air quality, material durability, use of post-consumer materials and sustainability-focused waste management practices.
Another big incentive for consumers is the fact that mortgage lenders and regional programs-offer discount interest rates for green homes.
Regardless of the incentive, consumers should also inquire about the materials that they will be using to build their home, especially the foundation. A home built with concrete blocks, for example, does not suffer from the same number of insect infestations as wood construction homes.

Comment 1:
Great ideas, many people are working now to make the world more green.
Comment 2:
The demands for green homes and the market of 17 percent must be increased and there must be insects and infections cured for wooden constructions.
Comment 3:
The concept is nice but I think, technology has changed a lot in today’s modern world but some of the techniques of construction will remain same as it was in 1800 s. More ideas should be introduced in construction to offer environment friendly homes.
Comment 4 :
The idea of investing a house that makes you save money is not bad. It’s a long-time investment and I’ve been thinking for a while to make some changes. Could you for instance tell me how low the energy bills get? 20% or 50% ? The thing with concrete blocks is that during summertime it gets really hot and there’s no air. I would go anytime for wood instead of concrete. And the bugs problem, well you solve it once and you solve it for good! As far as I can see, the green homes trend is expanding quickly! I have started to get sick of all the skyscrapers!
Comment 5:
All homeowners can be proud that wood is a renewable and green product.
What is the theme of the blog quoted?
选项
A、How to choose material for green homes.
B、The demand for green homes is on the rise.
C、Green homes and personal values.
D、Long term development starts from housing.
答案
B
解析
推断题。博文第一段讲的就是环保房屋的销售呈上升趋势。据报道,2011年环保房屋市场占有率为17%而预计到2016年会更多。在第二段作者分析了这一现象背后的两大原因。尽管文章提到了建筑材料的使用,但那仅是提醒消费者水泥地基更牢固,所以A不能选。原文没有提到人们的购买动机,故不能选C。也没有论述开发绿色房屋的长远意义,所以选项D也要排除。故选B。
