Green home construction is the new age style of construction using concepts that are as old as the hills. Changing living styles in tune to the surrounding landscape is the thrust of green home construction. Artificiallly heated and cooled homes suffer the aftermath of unhealthy fumes and emissions and people are increasingly turning to natural elements like wind and solar energy as healthier options of heating and cooling.
Steel and glass that form the façade of many modern constructions have gone green because recycled steel from salvage yards and building demolition sites and glass from old glass bottles are used. Particle board made from recycled material is used for partition screens and furniture. Eco flooring made of linoleum that is made of recycled material with a jute backing or rubber flooring made with car tires are the underlying material used in green construction.
Stucco and straw bale walls are an excellent warm and eco friendly option to the conventional concrete walls. Green home construction involves using non toxic paint making the interiors of the home healthy.
