Green Homes Sell Well. The host for this show is Howard Wiig. The guest is Judy Sobin.

Americans are now acutely aware of the dangers of climate change and want to contribute to global cooling. They can do this by ensuring that the homes they buy are as energy efficient as possible. Therefore, preparing the home to be as efficient as possible is a major selling point. Plus, Hawai‘i’s sky-high electricity prices give buyers every incentive to look for homes with the lowest possible electricity usage.
