All that ‘green talk has had you suitably enthused to build a green home. So how do you go about it? Well, for starters there are some basic questions, which need to be asked when planning green home construction. These basic questions are – where do you want to build your dream ‘green home? What are the green resources locally available to you? To build your green house what are the suitable green designs? Who else is interested? Is there a suitable architect available? Can my authorities help me? The solutions to these concerns will clarify the way forward for building your green home.
The geographical location of your green house will decide to a great extent what sort of green design or designs you would want to incorporate. If it were in the mountains, a different type of approach would be required, say to a house in the plains or the deserts or by the seaside.
The green resources available locally will come next in your checklist for your green home construction. Your choice would have to be sensible, even though plentiful organic resources are available. A good example of this thoughtful exercise would be in choosing abundantly available wood rather than an unusual species which may be difficult to replace. Using products made from material recycled from citys landfill is an option and could be your contribution to national resource conservation.
The dictates of weather will also decide what sort of green design you would want to incorporate. For example, sloping traditional roofs with runnels would be appropriate in wet weather climate rather than flat topped log cabins, which are more suitable for the mountains. Hot weather favors the use of straw bale and compressed earth blocks in green home constructions.
Involving other people is a positive way to ensure the viability of green home construction. Remember, a community effort is always better than ‘going at it alone. It helps you to conserve resources and save money. For instance, common swimming pool, common solar panel grid, common water harvesting projects and common recycling plants can easily be shared by a community wishing to build green homes. A ‘green home construction is not a province of the uninitiated. Get yourself a good architect with proven track record who knows all the pros and cons of green home construction. It would be his ken to advise you on the best tax benefits from the government, the best designs to incorporate and the best resources to use for best use of your money. That should be your mantra for constructing a green home.
