Health Benefits
Green homes utilize materials that are not only less toxic for the environment, but that are also healthier for the inhabitants of these homes. Many traditional building materials that are used for the construction of homes contain particles that are released into the air of the building during the construction process. These particles are often toxic when breathed in, or can be a source of irritation to those who suffer from allergies. Green homes utilize more natural building materials that do not contain these toxic and irritating chemicals/materials. Furthermore, green buildings often employ the use of purer ventilation systems, which can make these buildings an easier place for those who suffer from allergies and asthma to breathe.
