1.     Solar Designs

Solar panels are becoming increasingly popular as a means of generating renewable energy, and there are many different designs to choose from. Whether you want to install a few panels on the roofs of the homes you build or design an entire solar farm, plenty of options are available.

2.     Green Roofs

Green roofs are covered with vegetation, which helps insulate the building and regulate temperature. This can reduce your clients’ energy usage and provide them with other benefits such as improved air quality and stormwater management.

3.     Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency is one of the popular elements in sustainable green home design. There are several ways to do this, from choosing energy-efficient appliances to installing solar panels. Investing in energy-efficient add-ons for the homes you build can help your clients save money in the long run while also reducing their carbon footprint.

4.     Sustainable Building Methods

There are many sustainable building methods that you can implement in your construction practices. For example, straw bale construction is an eco-friendly method that uses straw bales as insulation. This type of construction is not only environmentally friendly but also very efficient in terms of thermal protection.
