WASHINGTON , January 20, 2022 (press release) –

Wellness and green building practices were popular design ideas before COVID-19, but have gained greater traction in the wake of the pandemic as consumers have taken a closer look at their lifestyles and their homes. The majority of home buyers prefer to go green when provided the option and will generally spend more for it — for instance, paying more for green building certifications or installing features that will save on utilities.

So how can builders capitalize on this growing interest and work it into their businesses?

The 2022 International Builders’ Show (IBS) will offer sessions dedicated to green building and design practices in today’s housing market. Check out the following to learn more, and how to implement these practices.
