My thoughts on Green Home Construction

By: Linda Glutmein


Green home construction is the new age style of construction using concepts that are as old as the hills. Changing living styles in tune to the surrounding landscape is the thrust of green home construction. Artificiallly heated and cooled homes suffer the aftermath of unhealthy fumes and emissions and people are increasingly turning to natural elements like wind and solar energy as healthier options of heating and cooling.

Steel and glass that form the façade of many modern constructions have gone green because recycled steel from salvage yards and building demolition sites and glass from old glass bottles are used. Particle board made from recycled material is used for partition screens and furniture. People who prefer green home constructions prefer to walk with recycled flooring material like rubber from car tires and eco linoleum underfoot.

Stucco and straw bale walls are an excellent warm and eco friendly option to the conventional concrete walls. The air one breathes in a green home is good for health because of the non toxic substances like paints used on the walls. Green home construction does not use mass produced chemically treated material and can be expensive to build but those who live in the building will find that they spend less on artificial temperature alteration devices, maintenance of the building and medical bills long term.
