Do you want to remodel your home, but at the same time contribute to environmental protection? Then you are exactly right here! We will show you how to remodel a house in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way.
Environmentally friendly materials and technologies
When remodeling a home, there are many ways to use environmentally friendly materials and technologies. The best place to start is with the insulation. Good insulation not only provides greater energy efficiency, but also a comfortable room temperature. Ecological insulation materials such as hemp or cellulose are suitable for this purpose.
You should also pay attention to sustainability when selecting building materials. For example, use wood from sustainable forests or recycled material. Also pay attention to the origin of the materials to avoid unnecessary transportation.
Renewable energies
For heating the house, you can rely on renewable energy. A heat pump or solar thermal system uses energy from the sun and ambient air to heat the home. This not only saves energy, but also costs.
Choosing the right electrical appliances
Last but not least, you should also pay attention to energy efficiency when choosing your electrical appliances. A high energy standard not only saves energy, but also money. There are now many devices that are labeled with the EU energy label, which is a good guide when making a purchasing decision.
Further sustainable conversion measures
- Use rainwater: Rainwater can be collected and used to water the garden or flush the toilet. This saves drinking water and relieves the sewer system.
- LED lighting: LED lamps consume up to 80 percent less electricity than conventional incandescent lamps. They also have a longer service life and need to be replaced less frequently.
- Window replacement: By replacing old windows with modern, energy-efficient models, you can reduce heat loss and thus save on heating costs.
- Using solar energy: A photovoltaic system on the roof can generate electricity from solar energy and thus increase self-consumption. Surplus electricity can be fed into the public grid and remunerated.
- Ecological building materials: use ecological paints, varnishes and adhesives to avoid polluting emissions. Ecological materials such as wood, cork or linoleum are also suitable for flooring.
- Heating optimization: By installing a smart heating system, you can optimize energy consumption. Intelligent control enables heating output to meet demand, thus saving energy.
- Green power: Get your electricity from renewable sources to reduce your environmental footprint.
A sustainable and environmentally friendly home remodel is not only good for the environment, but also for your wallet. Reducing energy consumption can save you money in the long run.
