Best Ways to Make Your House Green in Pakistan
Want to have an energy efficient house? Well it's never bad if you answer yes because energy crisis in world in general, and in Pakistan in specific, is a big problem these days. A 'green' house allows a big cut down in the costs of electricity and gas bills. So let us have a look at some best ways to make your house green in Pakistan.
Go for insulation
Fore mostly, get your house insulated with some very fine insulation material, which is mainly available in stuff of fiberglass. Be sure to get your house insulated by a team of experts to avoid any problem. A good expert would use an infrared camera once the insulation is installed to look for any loop holes left in the installation. Half of the energy cost can be reduced by the use of insulation.
Instant water heaters
The traditional gas heaters consume a lot of energy and still you have to wait for the warm water running down the tap once the geyser gets on and meanwhile your hands shiver in cold water under the tap. Instead of these heaters, you should install small instant heaters in your bathrooms. These heaters work only when water passes through them and heat the water instantly. This saves a lot of energy definitely.
Energy efficient appliances
Only use those appliances, which are energy efficient in nature. Some very fine appliances like Air conditioners, heaters and Refrigerators have energy efficient system in them. Air Conditioners automatically get turned off when there is enough cooling in the room. Same principle is followed in refrigerators and electric heaters.
- Energy savers
One very famous example of energy conservative product is the new energy saver bulb. It may be a bit costly than traditional incandescent bulbs, may be even double or treble the price of a traditional bulb. But the benefits of it outweigh its costs. The saving in the electric bills is much more than the additional cost of the bulb. So always choose the energy saver bulbs for lighting purposes.
- LED
LED is an even new innovation, although and definitely costly as well. It is even more costly than energy savers but is extremely beneficial in cutting down bills of electricity. Reports suggest that LED lights cause a 200% reduction in electric bills.
Trees and landscape
Believe it or not but trees and landscapes can play a very vital hand in conserving energy and in making your house green. Let me explain how. Have some trees planted around the walls and windows of your house. Doing it would cover your house against sunlight by the leaves of tree in the summer and would allow you to operate your air conditioners at low levels to save energy. In winter, the leaves would fall and would allow more sunlight to enter in the house and now it would allow you to operate your heaters at an energy efficient level. So trees play a great part.
