Go Solar
Solar energy is clean and low-cost energy! Make solar power native technology in your new home. With this you can take maximum benefit of light, positioning and geography to get the most efficiency and energy for your home. 

Roof Cooling
The roof material can make a huge difference in your home’s energy efficiency.  If you have a roofing material that reflects the sun’s heat away from the roof, cools faster at night and retains less heat then it can help reduce energy costs. Slate, white tiles, special nanomembranes, terra cotta, and metal roofing can be used as roofing products for green homes. 

Manage Kitchen Waste
Composting kitchen waste at home will give you manure that you can use in gardening. Buy a cost-effective and hassle-free composter that occupies less space of your home.  

Use eco-friendly house cleaners
When we use chemical-laced cleaning agents, we are inhaling chemicals as well. It can damage the airways and speed up the decline of our lungs. Use natural cleaning agents which are safe, non-toxic and biodegradable.

Energy Efficient Light Bulb
Investing in energy-efficient CFL light bulbs is another way to make your home greener. Unlike the incandescent bulbs, CFLs use less electricity and last longer. Hence, helping you save money too!

Conserve Water 
In many homes, water is used unnecessarily and water is getting wasted on a regular basis! But, with simple steps, this wastage can be eliminated easily. Use water aerators and install water-saving showerheads to cut down 80% of your water usage and reduce energy consumption.
