So have you changed your mind yet? If you already changed your mind, go get your popcorn and hot red velvet latte cause I’m gonna give you some inspiration and solution.
so here it is, an eco-friendly house.
An eco friendly house is a house that ensures that both the fabric of the building and the family that live there have as minimum negative impact on the environment as possible. This means that a wide number of things need to be taken into consideration:
- Building materials – eco friendly building materials are necessary for a green home. This means that, where possible, materials are sourced from sustainable supplies and are produced with a minimum carbon footprint. This might include using recycled materials such as recycled wood or recycled rubber flooring.
- Energy efficiency – a modern eco friendly house should be as energy efficient as possible. This means using energy saving options such as efficient home heating systems. Good insulation is also key to the efficient running of a green home. A well insulated house will help to keep the heat out during the hot months and keep the heat in during the cold months. This can save on both cooling and heating costs.
- Alternative energy – there are many ways of generating energy at home. Developments in solar power, for instance, have meant that it is now possible to generate electricity from the sun on even overcast days. Building a new home means that new innovations such as photovoltaic shingles may be an option.
- Water conservation – saving water and reducing water consumption is an important part of green living. While it is possible to save water by stopping dripping taps, not leaving taps running and other conservation tips, installing new water efficient devices is the best way to ensure that water is conserved and not wasted.
last but not least, here some inspiration and tips for your eco-friendly house :
Save trees and trim your energy bill! The placement of this house and its decks was dictated by the trees, limiting the number that were cut during construction. In return, the trees provide shade that keeps the house coo
Put your windows to work. The angled windows in the living area allow maximum light to filter in. Glass panels at the base of the windows open like trapdoors to admit breezes and eliminate the need for air-conditioning.
