The commitment to the environment is essential and a good
way to do it, is to build green homes.
It seems that there is a greater awareness by the public
about the need to respect and protect the environment than ever before. Given this,
green homes have boomed in the last decade. Here are some pointers on how to
make a green home for yourself.
1. Natural Resources.
Most importantly, make the most of the sun to generate hot water, heat
buildings and use all hours of light to promote natural lighting throughout the
house.
Other resources such as wind and air can be harnessed for
cooling buildings in the hottest months. The rain can also be harnessed, for
example with water supplies for irrigation and, in addition, you can turn it
into drinking water by domestic purifiers. These consist of passing water
through a semi permeable membrane to filter contaminants such as particles,
heavy metals, excess salts, toxic substances, viruses, insecticides, etc.
2. Manufacture and recycling. The materials used in the
manufacture of a green home are maximised and the use of recycled and
recyclable materials are promoted. Also, keep in mind that many of the building
materials can be recovered, so rebuilding a building can be simple.
3. Materials and construction. One of the most important
features in making sustainable homes is that the materials for their production
have used the least amount of energy. Additionally, buildings are constructed
with minimal energy consumption, since the components of the building are
prefabricated.
4. Reusing materials. Another great advantage of building
houses green is that all materials used can - after the end of the lifetime of
a house - be repaired and used in another building.
5. Harnessing natural energy. By implementing solar thermal
and photovoltaic solar collectors (to generate electricity), and geothermal
systems (to generate hot air and water), these modern houses gain the advantage
of all the natural energy offered by the environment. Thus, thanks to these
technologies, the buildings are heated in winter for themselves. In summer, buildings
stay cool without air conditioning too.
6. Lighting by LEDs. LED technology is another great ally of
sustainable homes. If your house is organic, use LEDs for illumination. This
allows less risk to the environment.
Building a green home takes time because it requires a
detailed study of the characteristics of the environment and the possibilities
it offers. However, the result is very satisfying and, above all, very
supportive of the environment.
We have a range of non electric sewage treatments plants which are for the eco-friendly amongst us.. If you need any further information please call
