If you are considering a home remodel, green home upgrades are a smart and effective way to increase your home’s value while helping the environment. When designing your home remodel, there are many different home areas and components that can be upgraded with energy-efficient materials and building practices. Let’s take a closer look at some of the green upgrades that can add significant value to your home.
Roof
Green roofs are a stylish and efficient way to conserve energy while also adding a distinctive architectural component to the exterior of your home. Green roofs contain a living layer of plants, which serve to insulate, shade, and protect the top of your home. The plantings on a green roof also help to offset carbon emissions.
Windows
Energy-efficient windows will save you money on your monthly energy bills while at the same time increasing the overall value of your home. These highly insulated windows will help your central air system operate more efficiently, and can be purchased in a wide variety of sizes and styles. For the best performance, look for windows that contain the Energy Star sticker.
Attic Insulation
Your attic is one of the greatest sources of energy loss in your home. In the heat of summer, warm air remains trapped in your attic, and during the cold months, heat is quickly lost in an attic that is not properly insulated. By upgrading your attic with energy-efficient insulation materials, you will reduce your monthly heating and cooling costs considerably.
