Energy Efficient Building Materials

Recycled Steel
Steel beams can be used as a replacement for wooden ones
and can be ordered to fit a specific design. Steel is a very
durable material and particularly useful in areas where there
are earthquakes and high winds.
 Straw Bales
It can help us with its excellent
insulation properties. If kept dry
they can last for hundreds of years
and they bond well to plaster and
external render.
 Structural Insulated Panels
It is fire resistant and suitable for
floors, basements, foundations as
well as load bearing walls. You can
choose from a variety of materials
but the principle remains the same.
This material will help you reduce
your energy bill greatly. You can
consult a handyman services
company if you want to know more
about this.
Plastic Composite Lumber

It is resistant to mold and

rot and more rigid in the
cold and pliable in the heat
than purely plastic building
materials. Also the one in
the picture is the anti-slip
variety which is suitable
for bathrooms and outside
decks.
Low-E Windows

Low-E windows or also

known as "high performance"
windows are another great
substitute for normal glass
which will help you reduce
heat during summer and block
infrared radiation. They have a
clear coating of metal oxide. It
also helps keep the heat in
during the winter. They can
reduce heat flow by up to
50%.
 Vacuum Insulation Panels

Currently only used for commercial refrigeration

units they could become available for general home
building in the future. They comprise of a textured
silver rectangle that encloses a core panel in an
airtight envelope. All of this means heat loss will be
reduced to a minimum and we'll have much greener
homes.
 Cool Roof
It will improve the heat dissipation
and will lower temperatures in your
home during summer A LOT. It's also
safe for the environment because it
lowers heat in the atmosphere. The
name is a bid misleading though, it's
not that these roofs are cooling your
home like an air-conditioner, its their
reflectiveness which gives them the
name. They reflect the sunlight and
thus reducing the heat in your home.
