Renovating a Home
And Healthy ? |
Planning a renovation is also an opportunity to apply Healthy Housing principles.
The goal of Healthy Housing is to reduce house-hold demands on the outdoor environment while providing a healthy indoor environment — by installing energy-efficient appliances, for instance, or by making the most use of natural light and passive solar energy in your designs.
Choose building materials that help conserve natural resources, such as salvaged lumber and products made with recycled content. Building materials should be durable, easy to maintain, and should not give off toxic gases once installed. Finally, choose and use construction techniques that minimize waste and debris.
The basis of Healthy Housing is to think of your home as an ecosystemand a part of the larger environment. Incorporating Healthy Housing principles when planning your renovation will help protect your family and community, and could very well help you save money.
