Exterior
The exterior of a house is what makes up how the house looks and what it takes in to make the house more eco- friendly.
Roof
By using photo voltaic panels on the roof of your house it makes it more eco- friendly. The panels use light form the suns rays to generate electricity making it green.
You get all the power you need from the suns rays instead of getting it from electricity which makes it better for the environment.
Windows
When you pump air in between two panes of glass for your windows it will increase the insulating power of them.
Siding
Rigid foam sheathing is easy to use, and lightweight and it blankets the entire exterior and insulates the walls to keep weather conditions out.
Using this type of siding will help with the use of electricity and keep it at a lower cost than if you were to use regular kind.
