Maximizing natural lighting

You can use sunlight as a source of natural light in the house on the condition that the orientation of the building should be facing north - south. The goal is to avoid the heat of the sun directly. The second condition if we want to maximize the natural lighting from the sun is the ratio between the size of the room with the openings you should consider. The size of the width of the room height should be twice the size of the opening so that sunlight can illuminate the room to the fullest.  

Take advantage of natural energy

If the first step before we take advantage of sunlight for daytime lighting source, then the second step we use the sun for a natural energy source. By utilizing a tool called the solar panels you can use the sun as a source of hot water in the house.  

Using layers of translucent material water

Nowadays when we watch the news on television or read in the paper - the paper, the problem of flooding is never-ending. Though natural disasters are caused by human activity itself. You can prevent yourself by way of providing water catchment area is quite extensive. For example in the car park and yard covered with grass or grass block so that water can flow and seep naturally into the ground.  

Providing natural ventilation

Natural ventilation in principle is for air circulation, where cold air flows into the room, and remove the hot air out of the room. Position openings are strategically good air circulation is to create openings top and bottom openings.  

Save energy

At present almost all over the world governments have always campaigned on the importance of saving energy. It turns out one of these attitudes can also cause global warming, especially household appliances are now so sophisticated with its main source of electrical energy. Of it should not be wasteful in the use of either electrical energy or water.  

Using bright colors

Paint the walls a bright color can lead to better solar reflectance of light, so the use of lights during the day can be reduced. The effect is that you can save even more energy, especially if it can be understood by many people.  

Build as needed

Before you build a house you certainly will design it first. When designing a process that should make building your home to be efficient, do not let unused space in vain. By building according to your needs will also efficient in the use of material.  

Making rainwater harvesting

Rain water as long as possible you think is not useful can be utilized for washing cars, gardening, and flush toilets. Of it by making rainwater then of course it will save groundwater reserves.
