The search for a more sustainable environment is one of the most sought after goals and in
Europe this has been felt with the various demands to bring all sectors closer to an environmentally friendly future.
In
this article we will address the various ways of how to make your home
more sustainable and how to apply environmentally friendly mechanisms,
whether in our home, in a future construction or even in a work
environment.
#Betting on green energyGenerated from
natural resources and renewable sources, this energy aims at a
complement of your daily needs with the protection and preservation of
the environment.
Solar, wind, tidal, water, biomass and heat energy
are the sources of green energy. You can bet, for example, on solar
panels that use solar energy for your consumption, which in the long run
will also be reflected in savings in your home.
#Retrofit SolutionsAlthough the cost of construction is a little higher with this system, you can guarantee greater sustainability.
Retrofit
is a strong trend in the recovery of old properties, being the new
trend of construction in the sector, because they allow the continuity
of the old property only with its restoration.
Although it is very
similar to Rehabilitation, Retrofit aims to renew the spaces in a deeper
way and according to the needs that the property may need for a more
secure future, on the other hand, rehabilitation involves the
restoration itself, but that implies losing the memory and architecture
of the property in question.
#Simple and sustainable equipmentEfficiency
is one of the qualities of this type of mechanisms to increase
sustainability in your home, so betting on LED lamps and HVAC equipment
that offer greater energy efficiency, even if in their acquisition seem a
little more expensive, in the long run will reverse all the investment
and still help the environment.
# Decrease in consumptionReducing
our energy expenses at home, at work or in public, is one of the main
steps to create a sustainable environment and safeguard future
generations.
Saving water is a key point for the future of all of us
and therefore, we should pay attention to the consumption that exceeds
our basic needs. We can adopt a discipline for saving, or for the more
distracted, use devices that "remind" us to turn off the tap, such as,
for example, using reminders or alarm clocks for short baths.
In some workplaces, we can see that many companies have also adopted timer systems for water and electricity consumption.
#Reduce, Reuse and RecycleAs it indicates, reduce first, reuse whenever possible and recycle to save the environment.
This
technique, aimed at the environment, not only helps reduce our
footprint on the planet but can also help you in your home in matters of
small savings that will help you after a while.
One example of this, is home gardening.Creating
small gardens, reusing water for washing the car or terrace, or even
betting on DIY are great opportunities for savings combined with
sustainability.
Since 1995, water consumption has increased more than 30%, reflecting a daily average of 100L per person this year.
