Going green or designing an eco-friendly home brings forth not only benefits for our environment but can also lower the price of your bills. 

 

Sustainable designs, aren’t just about adding solar panels or rain water tanks, but go beyond this to elements such as materials used to construct your home which may last longer and provide a more comfortable environment to live in. Traditional materials used often contain chemicals which can cause respiratory illnesses or allergic reactions. It’s certainly worth considering designing an eco-friendly home to provide a safer, healthier space for your family to live in. 

 

The cost of living is at an all-time high and the more you can do to improve your energy consumption, the more you’ll benefit in the long run.
