ECO WARRIOR

Like to say hi to everyone here.

As I could not find any ref/ to Eco House construction I will ask this question.

This is an issue which we now have to take a much greater interest in reducing your ecological footprint.

Solar energy is an obvious one.

I would hope that in the next few years maybe next year to build a house for my teerak
And all information would be appreciated.

My first priority would be to find a competent Farang electrician.

Green building is the practice of increasing the efficiency of buildings and their use of energy, water, and materials, and reducing building impacts on human health and the environment, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal - the complete building life cycle (this should lead to a reduction in the ecological footprint of the house and the people who live in it).

A similar concept is natural building, which is usually on a smaller scale and tends to focus on the use of natural materials that are available locally. Other commonly used terms include sustainable design and green architecture; however, while good design is essential to green building, the actual operation, maintenance, and ultimate disposal or deconstruction of the building also have very significant effects on buildings' overall environmental impact.
