Too Much Green For Green In Greenlake | hugeasscity
Each cottage is projected to save an average of 4250 kWh of electricity per year, or about half of what a typical household uses. At six cents per kWh, that’s an annual savings of $255. The heat recovery ventilation system should save another $300 per year in energy costs. The water savings target is 40 percent, which translates to a monthly savings of perhaps $20. Alas, a total utility savings of 70 bucks a month doesn’t put much of a dent in $4000 monthly mortgage payment.
Hugeasscity looks at price v. green features in a failed Greenlake development.
