Green home updates

Builders offer families high-quality appliances that reduce the amount of water and electricity needed for daily living. Proper insulation plays a major role in vastly reducing the amount of energy and money needed to keep a home comfortable. Trying to insulate an older home cost tens of thousands of dollars, but almost all new homes have modern insulation to ensure they remain comfortable while reducing energy usage. Programmable thermostats are one of the most popular pieces of smart home technology, and with good reason.

These high-tech thermostats make it easy to stay comfortable, while reducing the energy needed to stay comfortable. Another common green feature that helps keep your cooling and heating usage reasonable are low emittance low-E windows. This special glass reflects harmful UV rays and heat from sunlight, keeping homes cooler, without making the house dark. Newly built homes take advantage of advances in lighting efficiency.

In addition to using LED and compact florescent light CFL bulbs, many builders design their homes to maximize natural lighting, creating a living space that feels bright and airy, without needing the lights on all the time.

Builders hoping to attract increasingly environmentally conscious home shoppers frequently use ethically sourced building materials. Dennis Kelly. Oren Burks. Krys Barnes. Juwann Winfree.
