When it comes to Real Estate in Victoria BC, “Green” is buzz word that we hear a lot these days. Many projects looks or have the image of being green, even going as far as posting their advertising in green colours.
It is almost to the point that people think it is more “Prestigious” if it is built green.I think it is great if we can build green but at what cost and is it really help the environment? Electricity for example can generated via solar panels, heat and AC can be generated via heat pumps. Heat pumps are great for our climate here in Victoria, Vancouver Island, Vancouver and the lower mainland where our climate is more temperate.
A recent article in the Times Colonist by Carla Wilson talks about how Celebrity Pamela Anderson and Geoff Courtnall have plans on building green.
