A greener home is one that provides healthier and more comfortable living spaces and has features that reduce its impact on the environment. A greener home:
- uses energy, water, land and materials more efficiently
- provides a healthy habitat for the people who live in it
- uses materials that protect human health and the natural environment
- has minimal impact on the land it’s built on and the surrounding area
- is located within walking or biking distance to schools, transit routes, grocery stores and other essential services
Greener homes have many benefits and are an important way we can live more sustainably now and into the future.
Whether you are building, buying or renovating, there are many things you can do to take action and make your home greener.
