The marriage of green and affordable

Trisha Miller

New England Community Developments, 2008, No 2, 7 pages

Abstract: Developers are beginning to apply green design to affordable housing. The budding practice has the potential to provide significant benefits to lower-income families, who pay proportionately more for energy and are disproportionately affected by poor air quality. This article discusses the case for uniting green and affordable and highlights the first national design and construction criteria for green affordable homes.
