Nowadays, houses are built in an environmentally friendly way. This not only helps nature and the climate, but also saves a lot of energy and thus costs.

 

Features of an optimally environmentally friendly house

The house is oriented to best benefit from the light and warmth of the sun's rays.

The insulated walls store heat in winter and keep the interior cool in summer.

There are solar cells on the roof that use the light of the sun to generate electricity and heat the water.

Special systems catch the rainwater to use it in the garden.

Taps have a lower pressure and therefore use less water.

Energy-saving lamps are used in the house to save electricity.

Motion detectors only switch on the outdoor light when a person is there, so it doesn't burn unnecessarily when no one needs it.

Heating system, kitchen appliances, alarm, lighting and communication systems of the house are automated (domotics or building automation).

The house was built with environmentally friendly materials.
