Hello guys,
why we should build a green house and what is the benefit of this house? Can any body know it. Here are the seven reason given below. Have a look!
1. Green Buildings save Energy-Buildings account for 39.4% of the total U.S. energy consumption. That is the TOTAL energy consumption. Every time you fill up with gas, or get a utility bill you are reminded of the ever-increasing demand for energy.
2. Green Buildings save Water-Occupants of Buildings use 12% of the total water consumed in the U.S. per day. Some easy ways to cut our water usage in half is to use low flow faucets and shower heads, low flow or dual-flush toilets, energy star or water sense dish washers and clothes washers, and native and draught resistant landscaping with water sensing or weathermatic irrigation.
3. Green Buildings are Healthier-Green buildings improve indoor air quality over traditional house plans by air sealing, proper ventilation, air filtration, moisture management, and avoiding potential sources of pollutants such as VOCs and formaldehyde.
4. Green Buildings are a Great Investment- Now, there is high demand for green homes even though the past 3 years have been extremely rough on the national housing market. Homes have lost an average of 12% of their value, but green certified homes have held their value, and in many cases increased in value. Green homes save money every single month because they lower water, electric, and gas bills.
5. Green Buildings Protect our Waterways from Pollution- Buildings and their pavement replace natural surfaces with impermeable surfaces. This creates runoff that washes sediments and pollution into our waterways. This runoff is the fourth leading source of pollution in rivers, third in lakes, and second in estuaries.
6. Green Buildings Reduce Waste. Construction and demolition (C&D) debris accounts for nearly 60% of our total non-industrial waste each year.
7. Green Buildings Reduce our Carbon Dioxide Emissions. When I think about CO2 emissions I usually think about cars and trucks as the worst offender, but buildings account for 38.1% of the U.S.'s total CO2 emissions. Green buildings reduce our carbon footprint by reducing energy requirements, and the amount of materials and resources needed for construction.
Thanks.
