\u2018Restore our earth\u2019 was the theme for Earth Day 2021. The lockdown did allow Mother Earth to breathe a\u00a0 sigh of relief , as activity ground to a halt. With flooding across the globe and temperatures reaching record highs, now more\u00a0 than ever the importance of eco-conscious behaviour is clear for all to see. The only way forward is to tap into collective consciousness to help nature regain its stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

Greater awareness in India has led to economic strategies shifting towards increased green building infrastructure in 2021. Currently, India is the fourth largest market in the world for green buildings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

An eco friendly house has very little impact on our planet. Using resources that can be recycled and reclaimed adds value to eco-friendly homes. Read on for some interesting and inspiring facts about eco homes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Materials Used<\/b><\/p>\n

Using sustainable and energy-efficient materials gives Eco homes their signature feel, look, and impact. Using recycled materials makes it more energy-efficient than using new materials. Choosing bamboo for trees for insulation is great because it grows faster and in large numbers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Energy Efficiency<\/b><\/p>\n

Energy efficiency is another point to consider when building an eco-house. Energy consumption at homes accounts for 26% of the total carbon footprint. Natural light and ventilation make eco-friendly homes stay cool during summers and warm during winters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Passive House design developed in South-west Germany is one such environment-conscious innovation in the construction sector. Using Geothermal energy from underground to heat your homes during winter and setting up solar panels to generate electricity in your homes reduces the load on traditional energy sources.<\/span><\/p>\n

Healthier Inhabitants<\/b><\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t it interesting to know that people living in Eco homes are much healthier than others? Living in houses that use fewer chemicals in the construction process reduces asthma and other respiratory disorders. Choice of floorings like wood and red or black oxide is not only eco-friendly but health-friendly too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Green Roofs<\/b><\/p>\n

Green roofs are a terrific idea to reduce heat inside rooms. Green vegetation on the roof is aesthetically appealing and absorbs stormwater runoffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Smart Homes<\/b><\/p>\n

Home automation systems are a great way to reduce energy-wasting practices. Automation helps remotely control the switches and sense the need for lighting or air-conditioning when you are at home. Smart-home solutions are the most trending way to attain eco-friendly living.<\/span><\/p>\n
