Energy Efficient Housing Items – Green Building

Today, people are looking to find ways that they can be more energy efficient. The truth is, people want to do anything and everything they can to conserve energy because it is not only better for the environment but it also helps them to save some money in the long run. Energy efficient homes conserve energy, reduce unnecessary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and demand for non-renewable resources. They provide significant savings over conventional homes.

Energy efficiency is not just for certain people, it is something that everyone can take a part in. The good news is that there are a few ways that you can make your home or apartment energy efficient with energy efficient strategies and products, without having to spend too much money out of pocket. Then, you can just enjoy the cost savings throughout the year, and also get a few tax breaks while you are at it. Here are a few things that you should try.

High-Efficiency Water Heater

Heating water requires extensive amounts of energy, often heating the entire tank of water to maintain a temperature repeatedly. While this does, in fact, work well for most homes, opting for a high-efficiency water heater can save you energy and money. Look into purchasing a per use water heater, which heats the water at the time of use – instead of consistently warming it (for instance, when you’re sleeping or at work). This way, you’ll only use energy to heat water you’re using at that time – instead of around the clock when you don’t need it.

Likewise, you can also insulate any visible water pipes to help eliminate any heat loss as well. By insulating the pipes, you’ll help keep the temperature consistent and use less energy in the process.

Added Insulation for Extra Warmth

If you’re looking to save some money on your heating bill, consider adding extra insulation (like spray foam) to your home’s structure. But adding spray insulation, you’ll be left with a fuller, thicker coverage – keeping your house warm and toasty in the winter by keeping the cold out. Likewise, you can opt to add additional insulation to the attic and basement of your home as well, which can improve the energy efficiency of your home too.

Properly insulating your home can reduce your year-round energy usage by 20-60%, which can add up to considerable savings over time. Likewise, insulation is one of the most cost-effective ways to reducing your heating and cooling expenses over time.

Small Changes Add Up to Big Savings

While it might not seem like a lot of changes, making small improvements to your home’s structure and design can add up to considerable savings over the years. As more people understand the importance of living green, the value for homes with these features and qualities can hold or improve the retail value in the event they decide to resell down the road. Combined with the immediate savings you’ll see at the time of installation, having an energy efficient home is a no-brainer.

Look for Energy Efficient Appliances

If you are shopping for new appliances to help make your home more energy efficient, look for appliances that have the HE logo. Energy star certified appliances use less energy, and while they may cost you a bit more in the beginning it is much more of an investment for you. This is because it will save you money over time when it comes to running your appliances.

Use LED Lights

One of the best value-for-money options when making your home energy efficient is replacing your existing lights with LED bulbs. Lighting accounts for 25 percent of the average home’s energy costs, which lets energy efficient LED lights really impact your savings.

While it’s true LED lights are more expensive than regular bulbs, they make up for the initial cost by lasting much longer.
