Many people move into houses without considering the environment and the materials used in building. Before moving into that new house ask yourself “is it an Eco-friendly home?”
An Eco-home is a home that has a low impact on the environment and is built using materials that have no carbon footprint (which is harmful) and reduces consumption of energy due to air pollution, water pollution and solid waste disposal. Here are some of the benefits of an Eco-home:
Healthy environment: One of the greatest benefits of an Eco-home is that it has no harmful chemicals or environmental pollutant. This is because most common products for building contain harmful substances. Therefore Eco-friendly choices make your home a healthier choice for your family.
Less maintenance: An Eco-home is easy to maintain because of the green building materials used (such as bamboo, straw, dimension stones, recycled stones, recycled metal and other products that are non-toxic, reusable, renewable and recyclable). They are often more durable and require less maintenance. This keeps your home looking new for a long time and saves you money on costly repairs. This also helps to sustain your home and extends its life span.
Lower carbon: Reducing carbon is one important thing we should all take into consideration, we need to take steps and work towards reducing the negative impact on the environment for future generations, building Eco-homes is one of the steps.
Higher property value: Real estate investors are beginning to see the benefits of Eco-friendly homes because of low maintenance costs and a sustainable and healthier environment now. This makes Eco-friendly homes hot cake in the real estate market and as such, attracts a higher property value.
Investing in Eco-friendly homes means you will be one step ahead of the future.
