Robert Soens admits that he gets call-backs from his clients. “They call me up to tell me that their utility bills are less than they were before we doubled the size of their house.” While building sustainably costs more up front, he says, “if you look at how much you lower your utility bills, it usually more than makes up for the increase in the mortgage.” But while he can talk green ROI with the best of them, Soens prefers to focus on more tangible benefits: “You're living in a more comfortable house, a healthier house, a more durable house.”
