Why Your New Home Should Be An Eco Home

When you are having a new home built, there are so many different factors to take into consideration and a myriad of choices to make. But one aspect that you should definitely consider is incorporating eco-friendly features into your new home. It is far easier to incorporate these features during the new build process than to add them on in a renovation at a later stage. 

As expert new homes builders in Kirwee, we have built dozens of eco homes, and in this article, we’ll provide you with some of the benefits of investing in an eco home.

Energy & Water Is Only Going To Get More Expensive

Eco homes use significantly less energy and water than traditional homes, with some eco homes being entirely self-sufficient. This investment really sets you up for the future because as resources become more scarce, they become more expensive. If you have your own resources, you won’t have to deal with exorbitant energy and water bills at the end of each month.

Less Maintenance

Eco-friendly materials are also usually highly durable. These materials, combined with the thoughtful design of eco homes, ensure that there is very little needed in terms of maintenance.

Healthy Indoor Environment

Eco materials are free from harmful chemicals, creating a safe and healthy indoor environment for you and your family.

Lower Your Carbon Footprint

Each one of us has the responsibility to lower our carbon footprints. Investing and living in an eco home will use significantly fewer resources than a traditional home.

Increase Property Value

Eco homes are becoming more popular and therefore they are more in demand. If you were ever to sell your property in the future, you could expect to sell it quite easily and get a fair price for it.

Eco-Friendly Home Features

What constitutes an eco home? We’d define it as a home that has been built in such a way that it makes the most of the available natural resources. Some eco features to take into consideration include:
​

• Solar panels
• Hydronic underfloor heating
• Orientation
• Building materials
• Sustainable landscape design
• Energy-efficient appliances
• Insulation
