Go GREEN In Your Kitchen! (Color Not Required)
The kitchen alone is responsible for nearly half of your home's energy consumption! Imagine if your kitchen renovation applied some easy and beautiful energy efficient principles, what could that do for your entire home?
-Windows are an excellent place to start creating a 'green' kitchen. Enlarging windows can brighten a room without increasing your ecological footprint! Operable windows can be used in lieu of a vent, and more efficient windows will dramatically help your energy bills!
-Cabinetry made from sustainable woods with low VOC finishes is another way to create a healthy and eco-friendly kitchen.
-Appliances use most of your kitchen's resources, so selecting energy-star appliances is a clear advantage when remodeling. But did you know Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking and other manufacturers offer appliances that are actually MORE efficient than energy-star appliances? Induction cooktops are another example of a new kind of appliance that uses significantly less energy than traditional cooktops!
