When building, remodeling, or replacing products in your home or commercial property, eco-friendly or green ideas can be very easy and often inexpensive to implement.  Here are some easy ways to incorporate green products into your property:

·        When building a new home or commercial space, face the widest part of the building to the north or south.

·        Place doors and windows where you will receive good cross-ventilation.

·        Ensure any attic space is well ventilated by using roof ridge vents, lighter colored roof materials, lots of insulation, and by placing A/C ducts in the attic to help absorb the heat.

·        Install an energy-efficient and properly sized heating and A/C system, make sure that duct work is correctly sealed, and use a programmable thermostat.

·        Utilize landscaping materials, plants and design that is appropriate for the climate and rainfall levels in your area.

·        Use low-flow toilets and showerheads and energy-efficient appliances.

·        Recyclable and renewable materials can be used for decking, siding, interior and exterior trim, and more. 

·        Choose flooring materials made out of concrete, bamboo, or recycled wood.

·        Replace your air conditioning filter regularly to enhance the performance of your air conditioning system and to reduce pollutants.
