Building an environmentally friendly home is becoming increasingly more important to homeowners in the 21st century. While it is true that green options have long been considered more expensive, it is becoming much more affordable to be eco-friendly thanks to modern technological advancements. In fact, many builders are already implementing greener building materials and processes into their home builds as standard practice.<\/p>\n

It is important to us at Morgan Taylor Homes<\/a> to produce high-quality and environmentally sustainable homes for not only our home buyers, but mother nature as well. The following are some items to put into consideration when looking to build an eco-friendly new home.<\/p>\n

Think Quality<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Selecting high-quality materials for your home is very important as that means you won\u2019t have to worry about frequent replacements and creating more waste in the long and short term. In fact, new construction homes are already by default fairly environmentally friendly due to the usage of newer and more advanced materials. State, county, and city codes assure that your home is built with efficiency in mind, but a quality home builder will take it to the next level. Fortunately, your Morgan Taylor Home already comes standard with high-quality materials and building practices.<\/p>\n

Think Efficiently<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Pre-planning before home construction is the number one way to ensure that your home build meets your standards of green sustainability. Early-stage planning is key if you desire to build a certified green home or a home with green elements.<\/p>\n

Designing a home specified to your lifestyle allows you to designate the largest spaces to rooms that you use the most and eliminate wasted space. Creating your own build on your own land also allows for you to orient your home in a way that uses natural resources such as sunlight, shade, and water runoff.<\/p>\n

Think Long Term<\/strong><\/em><\/h3>\n

Are you thinking that the price of building a zero-waste or 100% eco-home is too steep for your building budget? That doesn\u2019t mean that your build is unable to be the eco-friendly, dream home that you desire in the future. To start, you can make budget and eco-friendly choices now while planning for more considerable price point changes.<\/p>\n

For instance, implementing wind energy and solar roofing options may be too pricey during the building phase. Therefore, designing your home with the option and intention of switching later could save you time and money in the long run.<\/p>\n

Why Go Green?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

You do not need to be a botanist or health enthusiast to care about building an eco-friendly home or using renewable energy. There are many reasons for anyone to desire a home that is considered green or sustainable.<\/p>\n
