Green homes are designed, built, renovated, or improved in ways to more efficiently use natural resources. While many newer homes are built green, even small improvements to an older home can help reduce impact on the environment, promote the health of those who live there, and use energy and water more efficiently.
By adding green features to your home you can enjoy lower maintenance costs & monthly expenses, health benefits like lower emissions & better air quality, and improve your home's resale value & marketability.
Here are some ideas to make your home more green:
* Caulk windows and doors * Landscape responsibly * Install a programmable thermostat * Install low-E windows * Install low-flow showerheads and toilets * Consider adding storm doors * Install ceiling fans * Install tankless water heaters * Use low- or no-VOC paints and materials * Choose LED lighting * Take advantage of smart-irrigation technology like evapotranspiration controllers
