Charlotte Ranks in Top 25 Cities in US for Energy Efficiency
A large trend that has been sweeping the nation for a while now is energy efficiency and environmental protection. We have seen it in the houses that have been selling through energy efficient amenities that make home buyers drool. It is a strong selling point to many people in the market today which brings us to this startling discovery: Charlotte has been named one of the top 25 US cities with the most ENERGY STAR buildings by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. What this means is that our city has a large number of buildings (including schools, retail offices and office buildings) that significantly reduce their energy bills and greenhouse gas emissions by using 35 percent less energy and emit 35 percent less carbon dioxide than average buildings. This results in much lower bills for our local businesses, a lot more fresh air to breath compared to other cities, and a safe place for our children to go to school. This is just one more reason to buy a home in Charlotte.
