Chapter 8: Choosing the Plans for Building a Green Home
Synopsis
Green building is one of the hottest trends in the building industry. In fact, most homeowners can make design decisions based on providing a building and healthy environment with sustainability in mind.
If you are searching for a plan for building a green home, you need to pick a plan with the goal of creating an easy, low-maintenance and budget-friendly home that is inviting and warm. As advised, make every decision with sustainability, aesthetics and budget in mind.
Criteria when Evaluating the Best Green Home Building Plans
To give you some references, here are the specific criteria that you can use when examining which plans deserve to be called green:
Compact Footprint and Value Engineering – Plans with simple exterior walls with few bays, corners or protrusions utilize less construction materials. Thus, these areas reduce waste, cost and labor. A smaller home also uses a few amount of energy to cool and heat and thus, it requires more affordable to maintain and build.
Hard-working and Flexible Spaces - Picking the best plan can do away with the need to move as your household shrinks or grows. Building plans with bonus rooms that put up later expansion are suitable for your bill. In addition, having the main living spaces and master suites on the first floor keeps the house accessible.
Passive Heating Potential – Search for large walls of windows. This can take the benefits of passive solar temperature if the house is properly sited. Additionally, a well-placed roof overhang can also offer energy-saving shade.
With your ideas on how to choose the plans for building a green home, you can easily build your dream house. Thus, you can easily decide what style and design you opt to build.
