There's increasing tenant demand, even at slightly higher rent in my neck of the woods, partly because of the long term savings, and partly because our environmental footprint is starting to become important in its own right to people.Of course, a lot of tenants are happy to see a slower, evolutionary move in the right direction.

You could try using a heat sink for some added warmth. If you live in an area where it freezes in the winter months, you are out of luck without heating of some kind. In the spring you could get some flats and start some seed. Get a few different types to start with. If this is your first time using your greenhouse, start small with a small investment. It's not a simple as you think. I found that out this spring! Good luck! You need a temp of at least 45 degrees in order to grow anything in a greenhouse.

In a short term materials may cost more but what they provide for the individual, community and society is worth so much more. And like steve said it makes good business sense to build with better materials, it makes homes easier to sell and it keeps healthy. Green is def the way to go.

Difficult to justify as a rental property owner in buying a "green property", but something I would definately take into consideration if I were to build or as I rehab existing units. Just like the lead paint issue, the toxic building materials including VOC's we use in paints today, could be problems uncovered tomorrow. Using drywall that is mold resistant and paints that have low or no VOC's make good business AND health sense.Steven Boorstein Landlord Business Insider Interesting.
