    5 Strategies To Build a Sustainable Home in Florida

    When you’re building a new home in Florida, making green choices is smart for both your pocketbook and the environment. Sustainable design fights climate change while allowing you to reduce costly energy consumption. From purchasing energy-saving household appliances to finding the best solar installers in Tampa, here are five top tips to build sustainably.

    Energy-Efficient Appliances

    Home appliances are major consumers of energy, making them harmful to the environment and a burden on your budget. While you should select equipment with low Energy Star ratings, you’re wise to also consider appliances that are appropriately sized to your needs. Large-capacity washers that you operate with small loads or giant refrigerators that sit half-empty waste electricity and add big bucks to your monthly bills.

    Water Conservation

    While shortening showers, turning off faucets when soaping up, and running only full washer loads are daily choices you can make to conserve water, home design decisions also contribute to reducing water waste. Installing gutters to collect rainwater, putting in low-flow toilets and shower heads, and purchasing the aforementioned efficient appliances all help your family keep consumption levels low.

    Solar Panels

    Municipal electricity consumption burns fossil fuels, increasing carbon emissions and the ensuing air pollution. By installing solar panels, you reduce or eliminate your reliance on public electricity and slash your utility bills in the process. To ensure high-quality workmanship and maximum system efficiency, focus your search for “solar installers near me” on trusted teams who stand behind their service with long-term performance warranties.

    Insulation

    Homeowners often associate insulation with guarding against cold weather conditions, but it’s equally important in homes that make regular use of air conditioning. Without proper insulation, hot air seeps into your home while the cool air your A/C system generates escapes. Attic, wall, and even floor insulation is critical for maximizing the performance of your cooling units so they require less energy to keep your family comfortable.

    Living Habits

    Once you move into your new house, changing the way you do things also has a big impact on sustainability. In addition to the water-saving advice mentioned above, other smart habits go a long way toward boosting efficiency.

    Take advantage of Florida’s sunny weather by hanging your clothes out to dry rather than running the dryer after every load. Unplug electronics and appliances when not in use to reduce so-called “phantom energy” drainage. Cut back on food waste by making soup stock or replanting scraps, or start a composting bin to create organic fertilizer for your garden. Coupling behavioral changes with eco-conscious building choices creates the perfect win/win for ending overconsumption and keeping down costs.

    Now that you know how to make your home more sustainable, it’s time to start planning. Work closely with your builder on eco-friendly design elements like good insulation, shop for efficient products, and contact Clearwater solar panels installers early in the construction process. By taking these steps during your build and practicing environmentally conscious behaviors once you’re settled in your house, you’ll be doing your part for the climate while saving a nice chunk of change.
