AS energy prices and the population continue to rise, the demand for energy and its costs will only increase.
Therefore it comes as no surprise that many more people are opting for homes that display green features.
By integrating energy-efficient systems into your home, you can significantly lower your utility bills. Although there may be an initial investment, the savings will quickly offset those costs.
When this is mentioned, smart homes or those with eco-friendly features come to mind. But a sustainable home is more than just about saving energy, much more than that.
It’s all in the materials
Many standard household products contain harmful substances, whether from the materials themselves or the manufacturing processes.
One of the major advantages of using eco-friendly materials is that they are free from toxic chemicals and environmental pollutants, creating a safer and healthier living environment for your family.
Prime among these is the paint used to coat the wall or the materials used for the roof, ceiling and much more.
Some green homes also employ advanced heat recovery ventilation systems (HRV or ERV) to provide a continual supply of fresh air while ventilating the interior air space. Advance air filters will reduce dust, pollen and other outdoor air pollutants.
Higher demand of course
Now that homebuyers are increasingly recognising the advantages of eco-friendly homes, which offer lower operating costs and a more sustainable lifestyle, expect them to be in higher demand.
That also means a higher property value compared to traditional homes. By investing in an eco-friendly property now, smart property investors position themselves advantageously for the future.
They last longer too
Minimising environmental impact also means having an enduring home that is more durable and requires less maintenance.
So expect a green home to stay in great condition for longer, saving you more money on repairs.
