Some of the latest trends include using reclaimed materials like wood, brick, and metal, which not only add character to a home but also reduce waste. Another key trend is passive home features such as energy-efficient windows, strategic insulation, and natural ventilation systems, all designed to lower energy consumption while maintaining a comfortable indoor climate.
As an experienced Realtor, I help clients identify homes that already incorporate these eco-friendly features, whether it’s a property with reclaimed hardwood floors or a home built with passive energy systems. For those looking to customize a new home or renovate, I can introduce clients to designers who specialize in eco-conscious interiors, ensuring that sustainability and style go hand in hand.
Finding a home that aligns with your values while also reducing your carbon footprint is possible, and I’m here to guide you through the process of discovering the perfect eco-friendly space.
