The issues of sustainability and resource conservation now affect almost every area of everyday life. These factors are also becoming increasingly important when it comes to building your own four walls. What is important in sustainable construction can be summarized in a few points:
- Above all, the raw materials and energy used in construction should be as environmentally friendly and energy-efficient as possible.
- The better the quality, the longer the service life of materials, systems, etc.
- As particularly long-term assets, buildings should ideally also be sustainable "in operation" and adaptable to future changes.
By the way: An important aspect of sustainable buildings is, of course, the issue of cleanliness - from the final cleaning of the building to regular house cleaning. Those who rely on chemical-free green cleaning optimize theCO2 footprint of their home even more.
