Green Building Construction Over the next few years, we can expect our natural resources to become scarce most especially those that we need in order for us to live and survive. Whether we admit it or not, the earth is no longer as sustainable as it was a few decades ago. This is one of the reasons why architects and engineers are looking for ways to build houses that are sustainable. This is also the reason why all of us are encouraged to take our own part in saving the earth. One of the most effective ways to save the earth is to focus on green building construction.
CSV Architects What Does Green Home Building Mean? What many people think about green building is quite different from what it really is. When people hear about green or sustainable building, they think of a structure that looks like a typical building but with a lesser impact on the environment. Some others would think that it is a type of structure or the kind of surroundings the building has. Green or sustainable home building is actually a building project that allows you construct a structure that will serve its purpose while preserving most of the natural resources or the environment around the project area.
Sustainable Architecture What is The Real Value of Green Building? The more green home buildings are designed and constructed, the more people are getting aware of the advantages that it offers. But what really is the real value of the green building? Below are some of the major benefits of a sustainable building. Economic Benefits Among the economic benefits that this type of architectural structure offers are: Lower Operating Expenses Improved Occupant Productivity Create a Market for Green Services and Products
Passive House Architect One of the main advantages of a sustainable building is its operating cost. Because this type of building is designed to make use of the natural energy, homeowners will no longer have to rely solely on their heating and cooling system in order to maintain a healthy and comfortable environment inside the house. This will help them save on heating and cooling bills. Environmental Benefits A green building can help reduce water wastage, protect the ecosystem and biodiversity, and conserve natural resources. It can as well help improve the quality of air and water in and around the project site.
Sustainable Residential Architecture Social Benefits Sustainable home buildings generally improve its occupants' quality of life. It is also healthier, safer and more comfortable to live in as compared to an average house because it incorporates materials and products that are low in VOCs or volatile organic compounds. VOCs are among the compounds found in many materials and products used in constructing typical houses which can cause complications for people, especially for children, who have allergies or asthma. Sustainable homes also minimize strain on local infrastructure and improve the quality of air within the house.
