Green buildings is actually a concept developed for building homes and buildings in an eco-friendly manner making use of things that in no way cause the environment any harm. The eco-friendly houses come with water efficiency, energy efficiency and material efficiency. Apart from doing good to the environment, green buildings are a great way to reduce expenses and have things that are high on durability and utility at home.
However, it has been proved that a majority number of people opt for the design of green buildings when building homes owing to the fact that it is an extremely healthy option. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says that the pollution inside the house can be 3-70 times of the pollution that is outdoors in the major cities.
According to the green police, indoors can be kept pollution free with the use of bamboo flooring which is sustainable and durable at a par with hardwood; recycled glass tops look fashionable and at the same time are eco-friendly, water heaters that come without tanks, so that water is heated on demand and energy is saved; use of energy efficient light fixtures and appliances; use of eco-friendly furniture that is recyclable and sustainable; use of renewable energy sources like solar power; and low flow shower heads that help save water.
Green buildings are a boon for the environment and for the health of all who live in it.
