In today’s market having an environmentally friendly home is a common objective for most people. Growing awareness of the importance of environmentally friendly and energy efficient homes has increased their demand.

The general focus is on energy conservation, more environmentally friendly items and healthier indoor environments.

Many benefits come with green building: cost reduction from lower home energy bills, better comfort and indoor air quality, reduced cost of construction material, reduced cost of maintenance and operations, and decreased water waste.

According to recent studies, building environmentally friendly homes is not significantly costlier. In general, a green home has the following traits:

Better insulation—Temperatures are maintained evenly throughout the home. Energy efficient windows—They do not let the heat escape during the winter and prevent heat from entering in the summer. They also prevent discoloration of flooring and furniture caused by sunlight.

Tight ducts and construction—These reduce dust, pollen, moisture, drafts and noise, which improves indoor air quality and comfort.

Energy efficient cooling and heating systems—They use less energy and provide enhanced comfort.

Energy efficient products—Devices with an energy efficiency designation, like light fixtures and appliances, significantly cut energy usage.
