05 Nov Reasons to be Thankful for your Eco Home
During this month of gratitude, other than its beautiful aesthetics and luxuries, there are multiple reasons to be thankful for your eco home.
Green Homes Fight Climate Change
According to the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, U.S. residential and commercial buildings account for nearly 29% of all U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. This means that buildings play a large role in climate change, from their initial construction to their day-to-day operations. As home builders, we are responsible for reducing our environmental impact. That’s why every Bella Home is certified green by the Florida Green Building Coalition. We utilize green building practices that reduce our effect on the environment and greatly minimize our homeowners’ carbon footprints. With the use of natural materials, effective insulation, Low-E windows, and energy-efficient technology, our homes help you maintain a low carbon footprint while being beneficial for your family and the planet.
Your Home is Built for your Health
The US Environmental Protection Agency estimates that indoor air has two to five times more dirt than outdoor air. Breathing in those particles can lead to sickness, allergies, and long-term health issues such as difficulty breathing. Cleaner air has tremendous health benefits which is why we want our homeowners to stay healthy and safe so we’ve implemented energy-efficient air purifiers and calming designs in each of our homes. Each home has a Solaris Whole House Air Purifier; This in-duct home air purification system treats every cubic inch of space within your home. The Solaris Whole House Air Purifier system utilizes three technologies: UV light, photocatalytic air purification (PCO), and ionization. These components kill bacteria and other unhealthy airborne particles before cycling clean air back into your home. With clean air throughout your home, germs and surface contaminants will be significantly reduced which will help keep you and your family less likely to be sick.
One of our main goals here at Bella Homes is to make your life safe, healthy, and eco-friendly. We are committed to building homes that are purposefully designed to fit your lifestyle and to give you even more reasons to be grateful.
