Eco friendly homes have been constructed using materials and processes that are environmentally responsible and resource-efficient throughout the home's life-cycle: from siting to design, construction, operation, maintenance, renovation, and deconstruction. With clever planning, design and building practices these environmental concerns do not necessarily have to impact on the overall cost, utility, durability, and comfort of the eco friendly home.
Although new green technologies are constantly being developed to complement current practices in creating eco friendly homes, the common objective is that eco friendly homes are designed to reduce the overall impact of the home on the natural environment by:
- Efficiently using energy, water, and other resources
- Reducing waste, pollution and environmental damage
Another way to create an eco friendly home is to use natural materials that are available locally.
