We all have dreamt of a lavish and comfortable house to live in. In the process of choosing one, there are “n” factors that we consider. If you are planning to buy a house, sustainability is something that you shouldn’t be compromised on. Sustainability, in this case, talks about factors such as design, and location, to name a few. These factors play a pivotal role when it comes to living a lavish and comfortable life. On that note, have a look at the features of a sustainable house, constructed by the best builders in Chennai, and why having these factors in place is beneficial.
Building materials
What many are unaware of is the fact that there are certain building materials that can be recycled and adapted into a home’s design. Some of the ways include using brick pavers for bathroom flooring, beams for sub-floor structures, wood as feature walls in living areas, among others. In addition to all this, low volatile organic compound paints and finishes, locally sourced building materials for the home’s exterior, and wood products, etc. turn out to be great ways to ensure that your house is sustainable.
Lighting
As a matter of fact, the energy consumed in lighting the houses has a significant role to play when compared to the total energy consumed. Here, you can make a smart move by choosing a more efficient lighting technology. One of the best ways is to use a combination of LED and CFL light fittings. This helps in bringing down the energy consumption to a great extent.
Heating and cooling
Not many are aware of this, but a ‘passive design’ is one of the best ways to ensure that your abode is not just comfortable but sustainable as well. A house that boasts of a passive design has equal attention given to the stated components – ventilation, insulation, orientation, shading, and spatial zoning, glazing and thermal mass. With these components in place, there is absolutely nothing to worry about as your house, constructed by the best builders in Chennai, has natural heating and cooling methods for utmost comfort.
Energy-efficient Design
Considering how expensive it has become to pay off utility bills, there cannot be a better option to rely on than employing energy efficient elements wherever possible. Some examples are – concrete floors with in-slab heating, solar panels, double glazing on windows, etc. With this, you are not only reducing your expenses pertaining to gas and electricity but also taking a step towards reducing their carbon footprint.
Wastewater Treatment and Reuse
Words cannot suffice the importance of water. Steps such as installing showerheads, water fixtures and toilets with a good rating ensure that your house is sustainable.
All in all, what matters is – you take efforts to make sure that your dream house is sustainable enough to not cause harm to the environment without compromising on your taste.
