Statistics prove green building construction is not a fad, that it is here to stay. In a June 2014 McGraw Hill Construction report on green multifamily and single-family homes, almost two-thirds (62%) of single-family home builders say more than 15% of their projects are green. By 2018, that percentage increases to 84%.

During the Great Recession and subsequent periods of high energy prices, many homeowners and building owners looked to the heating and cooling industry for energy-efficient solutions to lower utility costs. Manufacturers continue to fine-tune technology to get the most efficiency from their products.
