Sustainable Home Design

Probably the most obvious thing to consider when looking at sustainable home design is its size. Large houses require more energy to heat and cool, so it follows that smaller houses are by their very nature, greener. Also, the larger the house, the more materials and energy that will be required for its construction. As a rule, a sustainable house design will be of a sufficient size to house its occupants and accommodate their activities. What is required is efficient use of space, good organization and keeping possessions at a manageable level.
