Ekozdaniya can reduce the impact of the built environment on human health and the environment through the efficient use of energy, water and other resources, as well as waste reduction. The construction of "green" buildings includes a description of an environmentally friendly and safe materials.
Key features green building
- Minimal disruption of the surrounding landscape.
- Using non-toxic, as well as secondary raw materials.
- Effective use of recycled water supply. An example is the collection and use of rainwater.
- The use of energy-saving and environmentally friendly equipment.
- The use of renewable energy sources, eg, solar.

Capabilities, allowing to create a "green" house
- Installing underfloor heating. This heating option allows the most efficient use of space. Also underfloor heating eliminates the energy-inefficient and unattractive wall radiators.
- Attic insulation using natural or recycled materials. Since heat rises, uninsulated or poorly insulated attic always multiplies the energy costs for heating the building.
- The use of water-based paints with natural pigments. Most paints, used to repair homes, have an oil base. This detail is often overlooked, although these colors are not only harmful to health, but also harmful to the environment. Water-based paints are safe and look more aesthetically pleasing.
- Investing in solar panels. Although the purchase and installation of such batteries - not cheap fun, over time, this investment will pay for itself completely. Solar panels are not only environmentally friendly source, but also allowed to have its own power source and does not depend on the tariff for state energy.
Most of the tools and technology to transform the building into an environmentally safe available to the average consumer. The basic rule ekozdany: think through every detail and take care of its safety for the environment and human health.
