Eco House Idea

Architect Angela Dean, author of "Green by Design" says that even small changes can have big impact. Here are many ideas you can use to change your home becomes more environmentally friendly, and the idea that there is not ideas that difficult at all to be done.

Bamboo floors.

So far we know the wood flooring, but bamboo is able to grow back faster, thus reducing the effects of forest destruction. Bamboo that is attached to the board will show the character that is similar to expensive wood. Price boards like this are not too expensive when compared to expensive original wooden boards, and the last layer of bamboo boards are more environmentally friendly than the coating for wood that normally is a pretty strong poison. Imagine the benefits: House still beautiful, safer to live because it is more secure than toxic, and environmentally friendly? What more can you wait?

Sun roof
One of the problems that arise from the power generated by the sun is a large solar panel, which looks not fit if placed in traditional homes. Now you can use solar panels as part of the roof, because of technology called thin-film triple-junction amorphous silicon. This solar cell is formed such as roof tiles and roof tiles may be installed in general, then paired to power your home. It is not as effective as conventional solar panels, but with the condition of Indonesia's rich sun, no doubt that this energy source will reduce a lot of power dependence on electricity. Reduce dependence on electricity means that will reduce electricity costs and expenses for the use of fuel. Help you save money, as well as environmentally friendly, why not?






Water heater



Try to use water heaters heat water when needed. Many houses still have water heaters that heat water continuously, and store hot water up to 40-80 gallons (200-400 liters of water) continuously. This is very ineffective and will be spending a lot of fuel. Why not use it? This way you get warm water for bathing or washing, and when combined with solar heating, it will be extremely energy efficient and environmentally friendly.



Auto Switches

Researchers have started to think about ways that we no longer need to turn off or turn on the lights in the house. The trick is to create an automatic switch that can turn off and turn on the light itself by looking for signs of human presence in the room. Older models that use a sound system, whereby a certain level will turn on the lights, is considered not fit, so that the current system using a combination of infrared technology and ultrasonic signals. Use this switch will reduce the laziness of people to turn on the switch is turned off and obviously very energy efficient.

Noen lamp bulb

This type of lamp was saving up to 75 percent of energy use than ordinary fluorescent lights, and began to be used in the early 1980s, while in Indonesia, this light is sold as energy saving lamps. Right now this lamp can burn very quickly and no longer buzzing. Not to mention now you can decide what you want light colors, soft matter, there is additional emission what color, is very supportive for those of you who love to live in comfortable homes. As above, the emission of these lamps emit very little and also saving energy, so it will greatly assist you in creating a green zone in your house.
