What Makes An Eco-Friendly House Eco-Friendly?

30/3/2023

 
​As a building company in Christchurch, New Zealand, we are passionate about creating homes that are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. 
In this blog, we will explore what makes an eco-friendly house truly eco and the benefits of choosing an eco-friendly renovation or new build for your home.

What Is An Eco-Friendly House?

An eco-friendly house is a home designed and built with the aim of reducing its carbon footprint and negative effects on the environment. These houses use sustainable materials, efficient energy systems, and innovative design to create a space that is both comfortable and environmentally friendly.

Sustainable Materials

Eco-friendly houses use sustainable materials. This includes materials that are renewable, biodegradable, or have a low environmental impact. Some examples of sustainable materials include bamboo flooring, reclaimed wood, and recycled insulation.

Efficient Energy Systems

An eco-friendly house also incorporates efficient energy systems to reduce energy consumption and costs. These systems may include solar panels, energy-efficient appliances, up to date insulation design and materials insulation to reduce heat loss.

Innovative Design

It’s important to note that you don’t have to sacrifice style when going green. An eco-friendly home is designed to maximise natural light and ventilation, reduce water consumption, and minimise waste while still looking modern and stylish. 

An example would be a beautiful, large window that is strategically placed to allow natural light to flood the interior, combined with a polished concrete floor that soaks up the sun's warmth during the day and releases it at night reducing the need for artificial heating during the night.

The Benefits Of An Eco-Friendly House

Choosing an eco-friendly renovation or new build for your home can have numerous benefits. 

  1. An eco-friendly house is more energy-efficient, which means lower energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint. 
  2. Sustainable materials used in construction are often of higher quality and can last longer, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
  3. Eco-friendly homes tend to have better indoor air quality, as they are designed to incorporate ventilation systems that bring in fresh air while filtering out pollutants. This can lead to improved health and wellbeing for those living in the home.
​Choosing an eco-friendly renovation or new build can have numerous benefits, from lower energy bills to improved health and wellbeing. As a building company in Christchurch, New Zealand, Brewster Building is committed to creating homes that are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly.
