Year after year, data from the U.S. Department of Energy suggests that the kitchen accounts for the majority of your home's energy usage. As the kitchen continues to evolve into the focal point of the home, it is easily the ideal space to incorporate green living to improve your home's energy efficiency and air quality. Case Remodeling offers four helpful tips for an efficient and healthier kitchen environment.
1. Energy Saving Appliances – Energy and water usage can be reduced by up to fifty percent with Energy Star appliances.
2. Compact Fluorescent Lighting - Replace standard light bulbs with CFL's. They last up to ten times as long and use a quarter of the energy.
3. Low Impact Cabinetry - Cabinets made from sustainable resources, offering low or no Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) finishes greatly improves the air quality of your home.
4. Natural Lighting - Using skylights saves money on electricity and enhances the overall livability of your home.
