Nowadays, sustainability plays an important role in everyday life. So too with homeowners. Hence, in this blog, we give 4 tips to make your home more sustainable!
A green roof has many advantages. It looks lively, especially in an urban environment, and it reduces noise pollution. Finally, it provides thermal insulation, biodiversity and purifies the air.
15% to 18% of a home's environmental impact comes from building materials. Hence, when remodelling, it is important to consider the type of material you use.
In addition, sustainable materials ensure better energy performance. You can choose materials with labels that take the full life cycle into account. For example: Natureplus, FSC label and the European Ecolabel.
Many homes today have double-glazing, but if you really want to be environmentally friendly, you can opt for high-efficiency glazing. This insulates two to three times better than double-glazing, providing greater thermal comfort and lower energy bills.
Ventilating the home reduces moisture, which leads to lower heating costs and prevents mould spots in the house. Furthermore, with poor ventilation, the air quality can decrease which can be harmful to your health. You can therefore opt for mechanical ventilation. This way, you can let fresh air in through a grille/shutter.
