Sustainable Housing
Green Architecture
If your looking to go green and you also are looking to spruce up your house, green architecture is a great way to make sustainable improvements to your house. Since many of these improvements are more energy efficient than regular home systems, they can end up paying for themselves by lowering the energy bills.
Solar Panels
Solar Panels are a great sustainable energy source and they can make your house energy independent and save you from paying as much on your energy bills!
LED Lightbulbs
Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulbs are about 90% more energy efficient than incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs also have a much longer life expectancy making them a smart purchase and far more energy efficient.
Low-flow Showerheads
Up to 30% of household water use is used on showers. Using a low-flow showerhead can save about 2,900 gallons of water a year. Switching showerheads decreases your water consumption, saves a lot of energy, and lowers your water and heating bills.
Energy-Efficient Appliances
Energy-efficient appliances can be a great investment to save on your electricity bills in the long run.
Seal Air Leaks
Sealing all the air leaks in your house can prevent heat and air from escaping from the ceiling, walls, or window edges. This can save you more than you'd expect on your heating and cooling bills.
Compost
Composting your food waste is an amazing way to reduce methane emissions in the landfills and create nutrient-rich soil that can help your garden thrive!
