Green building has become more profitable and sought-after in the global construction market as demand for more environmentally friendly building options rises. As a result, green housing is revolutionizing the housing market and enhancing our quality of life. Beyond construction and efficiency, green homes contribute to healthier neighborhoods that advance our social, economic, and environmental well-being.
What is a Green Home?
A ‘green’ building is one that, through its design, construction, or operation, reduces or eliminates adverse impacts on our climate and natural environment while also having the potential to create positive effects. Green buildings protect valuable natural resources while also improving our quality of life.
A home can be “green” by having a variety of features. These consist of:
• Efficient use of resources such as energy, water, and others
• Using sustainable energy sources like solar energy
• Efforts to reduce waste and pollution as well as to promote recycling and reuse• Satisfactory indoor air quality
• Using non-toxic, moral, and sustainable materials
• Environmental considerations in construction, design, and operation
• Taking into account the occupants’ quality of life during design, construction, and operation
• A structure that allows for environmental adaptation.
Green Home Benefits Healthier and more natural ventilation system:
Green buildings emphasize natural ventilation using “breathable” construction materials and low-energy fans to maintain ventilation.
Energy efficiency: Through the provision of low-energy household appliances such as refrigerators and better window placement to allow more natural light into the home.
Durability: Green homes are made with natural materials that last longer than concrete, plywood, and steel.
Better indoor air quality:
Green homes have air filters that reduce dust, pollen, and other pollutants.Less material usage: By cutting energy bills, optimizing material use, and reducing landfill waste, green homes minimize waste and carbon emissions
Temperature control:
Thanks to a combination of design and sustainable materials made from recycled products, green homes have better air quality and fewer fluctuations in temperature.
