Climate changes and global warming are speedily damaging the overall health of our planet Earth. Each part of this globe needs to develop more sustainable ways of working. And when it comes to real estate, the construction industry is also on the same verge.
One should know that although building materials are obtained from nature. However, the sources of the materials have influenced the natural reserves of the planet. Therefore, construction companies need to use environmentally friendly construction methods.
Why does the need for eco-friendly construction arise?
Pakistan is one of the largest countries populations wise. Unsustainable construction practices and urbanization are becoming a cause of the rising demands for residential properties. However, the sustainable use of natural resources is vital. We must control and manage the depletion of natural resources healthily and safely for everyone living on this planet. Real estate portals should also present such projects or methods where individuals should use sustainable construction purposes.
Ways to implement sustainable techniques
Grow Greens on Roof
Green roofs are an environmentally friendly form of construction in which plants, bushes, grass, flowers, and other green spaces grow on the roof. This ensures the collection of rainwater. Cooling and heating costs are minimized, and therefore, energy is saved. Moreover, it also assists in improving the air quality of your home and surroundings.
Use Manufactured Sand
By crushing available granite stones, the sand is prepared, and it helps reduce the cost of transport. Manufactured sand is free of impurities than naturally derived river sand and is believed to provide more robust support during construction.
Use Plastic Bricks
Plastic is a big problem for the Earth. Recycle soft plastic to create plastic bricks that withstand harsh weather, rain, and vast pressures of at least six tons. Plastic bricks can replace clay brick when building in rural areas that are prone to monsoon threats.
Many real estate companies and builders use several technologies to implement sustainable and environment-friendly construction to help rehabilitate our planet. So, if you are planning to buy a plot for sale to construct a home on it, check out real estate portals like sirmaya.com that support sustainable building practices.
Apply Passive Solar Concept
Building construction using the passive solar concept on a plot for sale is another way to use sustainable solar energy in constructing homes. Based on this concept, the design or location of the facility ensures maximum use of solar energy to supply power in houses during winters or for other heating purposes.
Use Rainwater Harvesting
The purest form of water that is being consumed in Pakistan is groundwater. However, because of rapid urbanization, the water penetration into the soil has been decreased. Therefore, you need to conserve water by using rainwater harvesting to recharge groundwater artificially.
Recycle Metals
Recycling is a vital part of sustainable development. Metalworking requires a lot of energy. From mining metal ore in mines to heating, moulding metal, and transporting it to retail stores from industries, it all consumes a lot of energy, releasing pollutants that pollute the atmosphere.
Using reclaimed, recovered or recycled materials reduces metal production from scratch by 60% and also helps in reducing pollution. We use Recycle metal in homes for various purposes like roofing building facades or structural supports.
Use Water Saving Devices
Install rainwater or greywater collection systems to reuse water to water plants or clean toilets. You can also use water-saving devices such as low-flush toilets, spray taps, low-flow showerheads, and many more.
Use Porotherm Smart Bricks
REB is a resource-efficient building block that is made up of combining several materials. This brick provides a fast and environment-friendly construction process. We characterize the bricks in the area, safe time, high quality, ease of use. In addition, these bricks also do not require sand and water. The brick provides thermal protection and dimensional load-bearing. Thus, there will be no wastage of power and material, and the building will be more durable and robust.
Use Environment-Friendly Products
Use non-toxic paints and environmentally friendly products to improve air quality inside the houses and avoid respiratory illness. Green products are free of emissions and volatile organic compounds. So, they also protect your home from germs, moulds, moisture, and spores.
