What is Environmentally Friendly Home Construction?

Environmentally friendly home construction refers to the use of materials, methods, and technologies that are designed to minimize the environmental impact of a building project and to promote sustainability. Environmentally friendly home construction may include the use of energy-efficient appliances and systems, the use of recycled or locally sourced materials, the incorporation of green space or landscaping, and the use of passive design principles. Environmentally friendly home construction may also involve the use of renewable energy sources, such as solar or wind power, or the use of water conservation measures. Environmentally friendly home construction may be motivated by a variety of factors, including cost savings, health benefits, and a desire to reduce the carbon footprint of a home.
