Listed Green® has one goal in mind -
being the best Green MLS (multiple listing service) to showcase new green homes for sale from seller's of all types - builders, developers, realtors and eco-friendly homeowners.
We are the best because Listed Green has chosen to review each listing before it is listed on this site.
This extra effort eliminates "greenwashing" - a term used when someone utilizes "green" verbiage (i.e. "solar", "eco-friendly", "conservation", etc.) to drive extra attention to traditionally built homes or housing development.
Listed Green promotes numerous National Green Building Certification Programs and Certified Green Home Builders that are truly making a difference in the green, energy efficient housing marketplace. Additionally, Listed Green helps educate the home buyer - who may have little or no idea what "green" living means and what effect it can really have in their overall "carbon footprint" on the environment.
Listed Green Homes has also considered the reality that people with a lot of money still tend to build bigger homes.
With that fact in mind, Listed Green has decided to review these larger homes with a tougher requirement; that they have an "extensive" list of green components worth considering. Maybe solar power, solar thermal hot water, water saving devices throughout, recycled materials, LEED certified or a state green building certification program.
We do a "case by case" review of green homes and the information submitted.
Listed Green promotes innovative and progressive energy saving ideas in green homes or eco-friendly housing development from anywhere in the world, in a very professional, easy-to-navigate internet platform, using a new Green MLS listing format which emphasizes green technologies and sustainable building techniques both new and old.
Listed Green has also made an environmentally responsible choice not to crowd this website with excessive advertising.
We chose to focus on education and alliance with like-minded organizations. As a true Green MLS to list new green homes and/or developments for sale/rent, we will always have a core responsibility to focus on making a difference on how we live, what we live in, what we choose to build our living environments with and what impact these products truly have on our planet.
List your green, innovative, energy efficient, sustainable homes and developments with the best, truly green, internet MLS platform available worldwide - Listed Green.

A Bigger
Housing Impact
Seems that some Americans still love to build it big.
This may never change. ListedGreen would like to convince everyone, especially the large luxury homes segment, to at least go for LEED certification. You know they will build it big anyway, so why not show them (and everyone else), that homes can indeed be "greener", not just by design, but also by function.
A long list of components can definitely make a difference on how these larger homes' energy costs could be as much as 80 to 90 percent below average like-sized typically built homes. The folks who make the biggest impact, are the ones who decide to go truly eco-friendly.
But there's a lot of argument out there - how huge homes could even be considered green? Obviously, there's quite a bit more resources going toward building such a large, stately estate. Overall, a bigger impact on the environment - or does it really have to be an impact?
One first smart step, would be to utilize recycled building materials throughout. There's a multitude of eco-friendly products available, and since the luxury client shouldn't mind the larger budget for building bigger homes; why not take a giant "green" leap in the right direction? Say they've already decided to build huge homes, but chose to use reclaimed construction materials instead. Then just take it to the next level and go solar.
Not just solar for electric power consumption, but for generating domestic hot water and radiant home heating. Thermal Solar Tubes have definately come a long way since their inception well over a decade ago. Widely used in the UK, Asia and Australia, these UV absorbing glass tubes have substantially dropped in price, making them a wise economic and environmental choice for heating water in the United States.
And what about water?
Reclaiming water should (in our opinion) be mandatory in all new building codes, locally and nationally. Recycling grey water is not only easy to accomplish, but much more cost-effective than the monies spent to treat and deliver water to homes everywhere, large or small. The energy it takes to deliver water is a lot more than the average American realizes. We just take it for granted when we turn on the faucet, tub, shower or even flush the toliet, that water will be there, without giving much thought of the sizeable amount of energy dollars (and resources) that is spent to accomplish such a process.
That's just a start. Many green options can be incorporated while building new green homes and ListedGreen will continue to elevate these "greener" building choices. Since we can't ignore the fact that people will still build it big, and we can't force them to build smaller (at least for now), so maybe we can at least educate the luxury home builders to do it better.

Building a
Green Home with Concrete
For quite some time now, a number of "green" homes have been built using ICF's (Insulated Concrete Form) for the exterior wall construction
in many parts of the United States.
It's a simple idea - layout and stack hollow "foam blocks", drop in steel rebar for reinforcement and then pour concrete in
the core of these hollow blocks.
Then presto! - foam insulation on both sides - with a layer of concrete in the middle!
Then there are green homes that design with concrete's "THERMAL MASS" - which if used properly, can add enormous energy saving benefits for the interior living environment of green built homes.
The true benefits of Thermal Mass.
So what is this "thermal mass" you ask?
Simply put, concrete is like a "big battery" to store energy.
The concrete "mass" can absorb heat from indoor heating systems (and the sun), then releasing the "stored heat"
back into the living space later at night.
The comfort is a much more stable temperature of the living area. The savings is your off-peak demand for energy.
