If you\u2019re interested in building a more sustainable, eco-friendly home in Ibiza, you probably already know most of the basics: installing solar panels, opting for water-saving fixtures in the bathroom, use eco-friendly materials. These are all very good options but if you want to go one step further, consider the very design of your home, this could help you shrink the impact on the environment even more. Some of the smartest ways to increase sustainability might actually be the sum of a few small changes to your home\u2019s design, let\u2019s have a look at them:<\/span><\/p>\n BEAR IN MIND THE LAYOUT<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n It\u2019s no secret that a smaller home is typically more energy efficient than a larger one. But it might not be just the size of the home, but how you use the space. Considering how much space you need and how it can be organised for energy savings, will help you decrease easily your home\u2019s energy expenditure.<\/span><\/p>\n THINK PASSIVE<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Passive design means to create a home that can basically take care of itself. When your home is designed so that it takes in the most sunlight during the winter, you can spend less on heating. The same home can offer shades to draw against the hot summer sun, or windows that are situated for a cool breeze. Thinking about all these small aspects, will help you create a more sustainable home in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n
