Introduction
Energy efficiency is no longer just a fancy word
that is peddled by marketing honchos to
unsuspecting consumers. In fact, the latter is a
contradiction as consumers these days are
remarkably aware and vocal about the need for
better energy efficiency. And this demand
permeates every aspect of their lives, right from
the appliances they buy to the homes they live
in. It is the second part that we are going to
look at here. The advantages of more energy
efficient homes are wide-ranging. With an energy
efficient home design, you benefit from lower
energy bills and the feel-good factor of living
in a home that is environment-friendly and
sustainable. Moreover, gone are the days when
environment-friendly meant staid-looking and
unfashionable products and services. As
professional architectural design, weve worked
with several clients who were pleasantly
surprised at how the environment-friendly and
energy efficient elements we designed for their
house or office building had turned out. In
keeping with that, here we look at eight easy
ways to make your home more energy efficient.

Know More

1. Value engineering is the most energy efficient
   home design idea comes into the picture when a
   property is in the early stages of being designed
   or built. It helps make your home or office more
   energy efficient by using a construction
   technique that makes extensive use of insulation
   materials and less wood and lumber. Apart from
   reducing your cooling or heating costs, value
   engineering is also known to lower the labour
   cost you incur during the construction of your
   property.
