There are air-powered automobiles, virtually waterless washing machines, and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>solar<\/strong> water heaters. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that advocates of the green building movement have come up with a new concept &#8211; the energy-saving house.<\/p>\n<p>What makes an energy saving house? There are various elements of a house that was built to save on the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of electricity generated by coal-powered plants, not the least of which is a design that capitalizes on the home&#8217;s accessibility to renewable sources of energy, such as the sun, the wind, the earth, or a nearby body of water which can produce hydroelectric energy. There are certain must-haves of a energy saving house; without these essential elements, you can&#8217;t completely say you have done your best to construct an eco-friendly and energy-efficient house.<\/p>\n<p>1.\tAn alternative source of energy. Various alternative sources of energy have been harnessed to produce electricity for many American homes. The most popular of these alternative and renewable sources are <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>solar<\/strong> energy, <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wind<\/strong> energy, and hydroelectric energy, which can all be harnessed from nature through the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of innovative inventions such as <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>solar<\/strong> panels, windmills, and special turbines. Your choice of an alternative source of energy ultimately depends on your financial capacity and the geographic location of your home, but installing any of these energy-saving systems will greatly help save <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>home<\/strong> energy.<\/p>\n<p>2.\tEarth-friendly materials. An energy-saving house is made of simple, eco-friendly, and recyclable materials that are produced with as little electricity as possible. It may be time for you to give up the catalog on polished brass and marble or imported tropical wood because many contemporary architects are incorporating the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of greener materials that can be easily found near the construction site. In fact, <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> of the best and cheapest materials that is making a comeback from the age of the ancients is dirt-cheap earth. <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Earth<\/strong> is easy-to-use, durable, cheap as itself, and can provide natural <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>insulation<\/strong> for a more efficient heating and cooling system.<\/p>\n<p>3.\tInsulation that works. To save <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>home<\/strong> energy, a house needs effective and airtight <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>insulation<\/strong> that can seal off the house from unwanted hot and cold temperatures. There are various types of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>insulation<\/strong> material that can be used for a home, but all of them can be used to create a thermal envelope around your house and reduce the heating and cooling loads. The most common types of <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>insulation<\/strong> are fiberglass rolls and cellulose, but spray-in foam <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>insulation<\/strong> is also used to cover off those unreachable crevices in small nooks and crannies.<\/p>\n<p>4.\tNatural lighting and ventilation. A well-designed energy saving house is <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>one<\/strong> that was made to take advantage of the accessibility of natural light and the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wind<\/strong>. Shapes that are low and narrow are more energy-efficient forms because the house tends to stretch across a wide and empty area where it can make <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of the different lighting combinations from outside as well as take advantage of the direction of the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>wind<\/strong>. House features that can naturally increase the flow of sunlight and ventilation are skylights, movable screen, adjustable louvers, and verandas.<\/p>\n<p>5.\tEnergy-efficient <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>home<\/strong> appliances. An energy-saving house is not complete without the <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> of appliances that exceed the Department of Energy&#8217;s energy-efficiency standards. All appliances have an <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Energy<\/strong> Guide sticker to show you its maximum energy usage, but recommended appliances are sealed with an <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>Energy<\/strong> Star label to show you that they are better at saving energy than the other brands.<\/p>\n<p>Brian Carver is a house energy expert. He has focused on finding ways to preserve the earth&#8217;s natural resources and helping people conserve energy and <strong class='StrictlyAutoTagBold'>use<\/strong> it efficiently.
