Going Green in Homeownership

If someone said, "Do you want a green home?" the answer may be, "No I prefer blue".  Now it seems going green is everywhere.   Even HGTV has a 'Green Home Giveaway'.  Real estate agents can earn a 'green' designation.  I'm someone who loves old homes so buying 'green' may not be high on my list if I'm looking for a historic home.  I'm all for conserving energy and like 'natural' materials but I feel homes with too much stone, concrete and glass have a 'cold' feel to them.  I suppose the younger generation may love this look and feel.  The Chicago  Museum of Science and Industry has a 'smart home exhibit'.  I found a video of this exhibit on Realtor.org, check it out and see what you think.  green home video
