Green
building or sustainable design and construction provide an opportunity to use
resources more efficiently, while creating healthier and more energy- efficient
homes and commercial buildings. successful green building leave a lighter
footprint on the environment through conversation or resources, while at the
same time balancing energy- efficient, cost- effective, low- maintenance
products for construction needs. In other words, green- building design involves
finding the delicate balance between home building and a sustainable
environment.
Making
your apartment greener not only helps the environment, but also saves you and
your residents money, shows residents that you care for their well being.
To
make your building greenery you can simply try yourself on it. First make sure
to provide enough recycling and yard waste/compost containers for your
residents. you can encourage residents to recycle and compost, by providing
them an information sheet when they move into the unit.
And
also create a gardening space for residents to grow food and flowers. If you
don't have room for a courtyard garden try to create a rooftop garden. When you
remodeling or repainting your home use green and non- toxic materials. for
examples paint with non toxic paints, replace carpeting with formaldehyde- free
carpeting and use reclaimed building materials. And when you clean the
apartment use non toxic cleaning materials. normally they are cheaper for you
as well as better for the environment.
specially
use locally owned and operated businesses for your services, for example
cleaning services, plumbers, electricians etc. in the other hand when you
support our local economy it becomes stronger which benefits all of us.
you
can recycle old appliances and building materials and use whether proof windows
and doors throughout the building. and also light hallways, enter ways and
other common areas with CFL lights. if not you can use solar power system to
your work. it helps to save your money too.
Another
special point is make your place water- wise. Equip bathroom and kitchen with
low- flow aerators, install low- flow shower heads, replace old toilets with
low- flow toilets, install energy star washing machines repair any leaks
quickly, replace ornamental landscape with native plants.
If
you try to make your place as following those points you can probably and
simply have a nice place with wonderful environment.
