The construction sector plays an important role in achieving a more sustainable future. Greener and more energy-efficient homes consume fewer resources, use less energy, and emit less CO₂. By building sustainably and ecologically, you can help save the climate while at the same time increasing the comfort of your home.
An energy-efficient new construction helps me reduce my energy needs and my energy bill.
Choosing to build sustainably means opting for increased thermal comfort, better air quality and healthier ecological building materials.
By building a more energy efficient home, I am investing in the value of the construction.
Reducing my energy requirements
Constructing green and energy-efficient homes not only benefits the environment. Thanks to better insulation standards and technical installations that promote renewable energies, I can reduce my own energy requirements and hence, my energy bill.
Improving my home’s indoor climate
Building a new, greener home means choosing a better quality of life and improved comfort: new ventilation and heating systems are installed according to the latest technical standards. The well-insulated walls of a new-build home allow me to stay warm and cosy in winter. Thanks to an efficient ventilation, I can enjoy improved air quality and thermal comfort.
In addition, modern methods of construction and environmentally friendly, sustainable materials emit fewer harmful substances, which is beneficial to my health.
There is little to no maintenance required during the first ten to fifteen years after construction - therefore, I additionally save on maintenance costs.
Maintaining the value of my property
A sustainable building consumes less energy. This ensures lower energy consumption in the future, which increases its property value. When selling the property, you can profit from this increased value. Building sustainably is an investment in my future.
Getting the most out of resources and constructing sustainably
By choosing sustainable construction methods, I conserve resources.
I should already think about how I can reduce embodied energy in my home during the planning phase and when choosing materials. Embodied energy is the amount of energy required during the life cycle of the materials in my home: production, extraction, processing, manufacturing, transport, installation, use, maintenance and recycling. As a result, less energy is consumed during the construction of my home.
I should also pay special attention to reducing unnecessary waste and to make the most out of my building materials.
