As our world continues to face pressing environmental issues, it's important that we all take action to live more sustainably. One way we can make a difference is by building or retrofitting our homes to be more earth-friendly. Here are some tips for living sustainably:
Energy-Efficient Design: Designing and building homes that are energy-efficient is one of the most important things we can do to reduce our carbon footprint. This means using materials that have a low embodied energy and designing homes that are properly insulated, airtight, and utilize passive solar design strategies. A well-insulated home will require less energy to heat and cool, which translates into lower energy bills and reduced emissions.
