Whenever we want to make an eco-efficient reform, the biggest question that arises is… How much are we going to save by making the eco-efficient house reform? We are increasingly looking at this aspect since in addition to helping to protect the environment, we can save up to 23% in energy consumption.
The greater energy eco-efficiency in your house or flat, the lower the cost you will have and the less CO2 consumption. What steps to take to achieve it? We’ll tell you about them right away!
Measures to save with an eco-efficient house
Starting with construction would be the most appropriate, but if you want to take care of the environment and inculcate it to the little ones, you can make important and simple improvements in your house.
Natural light. The first and simplest thing we recommend is that you consciously turn on the light. As long as you can use natural light, don’t hesitate.
LED lighting. This aspect is also important to review. For their part, incandescent bulbs of a lifetime lose energy in the form of heat. By changing them for low consumption bulbs you will be able to reduce energy consumption considerably. LEDs consume very little and take up little space. LED lighting consumes 95% less than incandescent bulbs and approximately 60% less than energy-saving bulbs.
Nature in the interior. Plants are proven to naturally make you breathe healthier air. They act as purifiers eliminating the so-called VOCs, Volatile Organic Components, which we breathe continuously at home as they emanate from plastics, textiles … and yes, they are harmful.
Good ventilation. With a good mechanical ventilation system it is possible to introduce hot air in winter and cooled air in summer.
By improving the thermal envelope of your house, you will reduce energy gains or losses. In his case, a fan, although not as cool as air conditioning, is very effective at dispersing heat.
The currents created by the fans can lower the wind chill by up to four degrees.
Recycled materials. Of course, plastic is something that little by little we have to avoid altogether, as is a trend. In many shops it is becoming easier and easier to buy other materials and, above all, recycled ones.
We hope this information has been useful to you, if you need help to make your home eco-efficient you can contact us.
