BuildX Era

Are you living in an environment-friendly home? For a building to be sustainable, much of this will depend on how the occupants use the premises. In addition to the residents making lifestyle changes to lead a green life, efforts also need to put by the developer firm. For example, at the occupancy focus areas include use of renewable energy such as solar PV, use of XPS boards to achieve lesser U-value, solar water heating, solar street lights, energy efficient lighting through the use of LED, CFL, energy efficient lifts, pumps and motors, and low-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paints, adhesives and insulations to maintain healthy indoor air quality. Low-flow, water-efficient fixtures are also a must. “Specially designed terrace roof sections, with high albedo material or reflective paint, to reduce heat absorption and the resulting energy demand on air-conditioning, should also be on the developer’s focus list,” #environment #world #green #greenliving #greenhome #greenbuilding #
