Are you interested in making your home more sustainable? If so, green remodeling could be the way to go. Green remodeling is all about investing in efficient and sustainable materials and practices to make your home more eco-friendly. Let's take a look at some of the changes you can make to renovate your home sustainably!

Draft-proof Doors and Windows: One of the simplest yet most effective ways to make your home more energy efficient is by draft-proofing your doors and windows. Investing in curtains, solar shades, or double pane windows can help keep the cold air out during winter months and keep the cool air in during summer months. This will reduce your energy costs and help you save money in the long run.

Install Solar Panels: Installing solar panels to generate electricity for your home is another great way to reduce your carbon footprint. Solar panels are becoming increasingly affordable, so it’s worth looking into if you’re interested in embracing renewable energy sources. Plus, many cities offer incentives for homeowners with solar installations.

Replace Lightbulbs: You may not know this, but replacing fluorescent light bulbs with LED or Compact Fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) can also help reduce energy consumption significantly over time. The difference between these two types of lightbulbs is that LED bulbs use up to 90% less energy than their traditional counterparts while still providing bright lighting. On top of that, LED bulbs last much longer than other types of lightbulbs - sometimes up to 10 years!

Look for Locally Produced Materials: When it comes time for renovations or demolitions, look for locally produced materials such as bricks, tiles, windows wood flooring and trim instead of buying new materials from overseas companies. Not only will this support local business owners but it will also reduce transportation costs associated with importing materials from other countries - which helps lower carbon emissions from transportation vehicles like planes and boats. Plus, many local organizations can accept salvaged materials from your project that can be reused or recycled - reducing waste sent to landfills by about 70%.

With just a few simple changes like draft-proofing doors and windows, installing solar panels, replacing lightbulbs with LED or CFLs, and looking for locally produced materials when renovating or demolishing parts of your home; you can easily start making sustainable choices that will benefit both the environment AND your wallet!
