ARCH I T ECT URE & DE S IG N ECO-FRIENDLY FEATURES FOR LUXURY HOMES By Alice Garwood When you envision an elegant home, eco-friendly might not be a term that immediately comes to mind. However, more people today are discovering it is possible to incorporate more sustainable elements in their home without sacrificing luxury, style and comfort. Here are eco-friendly features that can make your luxury home greener: LED Lighting Swapping out lightbulbs for energy-efficient LEDs with a longer lifespan is one of the easiest ways to make your home greener. If you want to further elevate your lighting and save more energy, consider automated lighting systems or motion-sensor lights. Solar Panels Take advantage of Southern California’s sunny weather by installing solar panels to harness the unlimited energy of the sun and use the power throughout your home as well as store it for future use. If you want an aesthetically pleasing look, more stylish options are now available, including frameless solar modules and glass solar panels. Energy-Efficient Window You don’t have to forgo floo -to-ceiling windows, great views and abundant natural light in an eco-friendly home if you invest in energy-efficient double- or triple-glazed glass that reduces heat loss and cool spots. Smart Landscape and Gardens Drought-resistant plants and a rainwater collection system are a wonderful way to decrease water usage. Vegetable gardens have become a feature of luxury homes, giving the gardener fresh air while helping the environment by promoting decomposition that keeps the soil healthy. Smart Home Technology Integrating smart home technology can make your home more luxurious and sustainable. Devices that control lighting, heating, cooling and appliances make it easier to monitor energy usage. By adding these or other eco-friendly features, you can enjoy a lavish lifestyle as well as peace of mind that comes with reducing your carbon footprint.
