Green building initiatives can be beautiful inside and outside! The traditional interior green wall is a smart way of implementing biophilic elements into any new build, but have you heard of exterior green walls? At New Earth Solutions, we have encountered a trend in urban areas where builders are looking for new ways to implement sustainability on the exterior of buildings. A trellis-style system is an easy and approachable way to gentrify older structures while decreasing the carbon footprint by negating the "Heat Island Effect". The "Heat Island Effect" cools down and heats the interior of buildings in urban areas; ultimately costing the occupants and owners significant amounts in ventilation overhead. An exterior trellis element helps enclose the current temperature inside buildings while giving an aesthetic look to the exterior!

?? Are you an eco-minded homeowner looking for ways to decrease your environmental footprint? ?? Here are several ways to achieve a sustainable home design. 1. Sustainable Wood Manufacturers can use dead and dying wood from forests and turn it into building materials that rival the strength and durability of steel and concrete. 2. Eco-friendly Certification When choosing indoor décor elements for your home, look for labels that certify they’ve met certain safety standards as set forth by the Environmental Protection Agency and other Notable Organizations. 3. Natural Light And Heat To aid in cutting back on this huge energy suck, you should adopt practices like turning lights off when not needed and dialing the thermostat back a degree or two to save on heat. Additionally, you can embrace the natural light that floods your home and look for ways to use thermoregulation for heat. 4. Double Pane Windows Windows account for nearly 30 percent of a home’s energy use. This is because they are susceptible to heat and cooling loss, which causes a home’s heating and cooling systems to work overtime to maintain a comfortable temperature.
