Al Gore would be proud. A new survey says 63% of Canadians are willing to spend more money to get a green home.

A recent poll conducted found 62% of those Canadians will spend anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 in order to get so-called green features.

“The mood of Canadian homebuyers and sellers is changing with the times — environmental concerns are impacting the decisions people are making about their dwellings,” said Phil Soper, chief executive of Royal LePage. “From simple energy conservation efforts to more elaborate use of organic building materials, the environmental conscious mindset that our agents are seeing in clients is not a passing trend.”
