Exploring the new Eco-friendly architecture concepts and how to adopt them

Climate change and other environmental challenges are one of the biggest concerns for humans in the modern world. Corporations and people all over the Globe are looking for solutions to reverse ecological issues in every way possible.

Unknowingly people have been ignoring architecture which remains one of the most effective ways. In this post, we discover the best eco-friendly concepts and how these can be adopted in architecture.

1. Locally sourced construction material

With modern shipping solutions, an ideal building consists of material sourced from all over the world, for example, Italian marble.

All of these practises evolved in the past century and have contributed adversely to the carbon footprint.

One of the latest trends talks about reversing the trend and adopting locally sourced material for construction.

Local material, along with being ecologically viable, is also sustainable and helps architects be creative with limited options available.

2. LEED certification

LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification of the US is all about creating eco-friendly homes.

Organisations and certification like these are the future of architecture as we face more ecological challenges.

With more than 430,000 homes all over the world, they look into hundreds of aspects which can increase the eco-friendliness of a home.

3. Vegetable and kitchen gardens

With the rise of food-related ailments in the world, everyone wishes to consume organic food free of preservatives.

No modern house’s architecture is complete without a kitchen garden. Current architectural concepts accommodate the space for green space in or outside the building, which is the future.

This adoption is seen in green roofs and walls.

4. Solar panels

With projections of almost all the energy consumption coming from solar panels in the next decade, we have come a long way.

Solar panels are the future of sustainability, and we see that happening in the modern architecture of all kinds. You can include solar panels in any section of the home design.

5. Geothermal heating and cooling

The architecture of the building can enhance the geothermal heating, and cooling capacities and modern designs justify the cost by giving more benefits than ever before.

6. Choosing Eco-friendly paint

The paint you choose for your property can make a big difference. The way paints are manufactured is a big cause of concern for our environment.

You can always opt for an eco-friendly option in the form of Nippon paint, which is the only paint manufacturing company in India to receive the Green Pro certification by CII. Nippon paint takes a holistic approach and works on all aspects, starting from manufacturing to waste management to work processes!
