Building
Environmentally
Sound Homes
As our
planet
continues to
take more
and more of
a beating,
there has
been a real
emergence of
building
environmentally
conscious
housing. In
years past
homes were
constructed
with
materials
that were
not only
damaging to
the
environment
but as we
eventually
discovered,
harmful to
us as well.
Prime
examples of
this were
the use of
things like
lead based
paint and
piping and
asbestos.
These
materials
have caused
an amazing
amount of
damage to
the planet
and to
people's
health.
Today the
concept of
constructing
homes that
are
considerate
to the
planet has
become more
than an
idea; it has
become an
absolute
necessity.
The focus of
this
movement is
the
construction
of homes
using
recycled and
renewable
resources.
It also
focuses on
clean power
sources.
These power
sources have
little to no
negative
impact on
the
environment
as they
harness the
power of sun
(solar
power) and
aim to
reduce the
amount of
electrical
and gas
power needed
to keep the
home
comfortable.
Another
great idea
that is
helping the
environment
is designing
homes with
efficient
drainage
which
assists in
the
replenishing
of ground
water
resources.
Homes
that are
properly
insulated
require far
less
electricity
to heat. The
end result
of this kind
of building
philosophy
is that it
will cost
less for the
owner to
heat and
maintain.
However the
most
desirable
result of
these types
of homes and
policies is
the reduced
impact that
construction
is having on
the
environment
and the
planet. With
the
population
on the rise
and industry
on the rise
too, we as
residents of
this planet
need to do
everything
in our power
to ensure
the safety
and
longevity of
our habitat.
