Overview of the features and materials for green building
The green building (ie the construction of houses so-called "green", made with only natural materials), is an area undergoing expansion, which in a few years is expected to carve out its important share in the Italian real estate market, as it is already happened in the United States and especially in the countries of Northern Europe.
Features and benefits of a house designed according to the rules of green building:
A house built following the dictates of green building is characterized by several aspects: the fact of being the only real alternative to housing classical reinforced concrete, that the timing of realization are rapid, that the structure is highly insulated, earthquake-proof, sound-insulated and anti-radon (ie free from emission of radioactive gases).
The ecological housing, unlike the traditional ones that use technologically modified materials such as cement and iron for structures, using only materials provided by nature: wood, plaster, cork, rock wool.
The ecological homes have windows also characterized by being designed to minimize heat loss in winter and cool in the summer months: an ecological house with doors opening Vasistas anti-fore, fine wood, using the most modern construction techniques (proof glass, liquid repellent heat-insulated aluminum roller shutters, blinds silenced and / or electrical) is the best you could want for your home today.
These features allow minimal maintenance costs, energy bills lighter (especially in the case of buildings designed according to the logic of the passive house) and minimize the possibility of negative impacts on the health of those who live there.
The interior of the ecological house:
Of great importance is also the sector of the eco-house. It is based on the use of the materials meticulous, as well as on the choice of caution: use a few glues, paints nothing, use instead of wood and other natural elements are the guidelines of a décor inspired by the principles of green building.
An important element in this new type of furniture, in addition to the "classic" wood is the cardboard, which is undoubtedly one of the most environmentally friendly materials ever, because it is completely recyclable and biodegradable.
This material is very suitable especially for the realization of eco-friendly home furnishings (such as chairs, bookcases, lamps, living room and gifts for the office). An example of a company that specializes in this area is the box-to Mengoni Silvio located in the Marche region, which produces three lines of ideas cardboard, respectively, for children to play, for the office and home furnishings, reflecting the versatility of this material for furnishing solutions.
The success of the cardboard is therefore due to its versatility, strength and adaptability to the most strange and extravagant and the volume of packaging, which being minimal even lead to the reduction of transport costs.
These principles of green building are increasingly known to the public and begin to guide the market demand, causing producers to move to meet these new requirements characterized by widespread ecological awareness: for them, the main challenge today is to to create materials and furnishings that can satisfy both the ecological and both the consumer demand. For us consumers, however, it is increasingly important to orient in a critical way our consumption choices.
