Let’s begin with a quick definition for green building:

“consists in the application of processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout a building/house life cycle”

Keeping eco-friendly construction in mind makes it easier to identify potential scenarios that allow us to positively impact the environment during the construction of our homes. An example of this is always analyzing the sun's location and how it affects the property we are building on. Also, the breeze and wind direction can guide us in selecting the best location for doors and windows to maximize the benefits of Florida's natural weather conditions.

Now, without further ado... we share with you our green building ideas:

• Passive cooling design (shaded porches, cross-ventilation, window orientation)
• Reflective and cool roofing materials
• Energy-efficient HVAC Systems and Dehumidification
• Moisture-resistant building materials
• Solar Power Energy Options
• Smart Ventilation and Airflow Systems
• Rainwater harvesting and greywater system

There you have it! We hope these ideas help you with your next home construction or remodeling project.

Always thinking about how we can help our planet is the best decision!
