Home to Design Retrofit easy Green Home Ideas!

Discovered some quick and easy Green ideas for the home owner.
Below, I show some Fast and Easy Green ideas.

Given the Federal government’s aim for 20% of the nation’s energy to be generated from renewable  resources by 2020. For a new home, this move to a six star energy efficiency rating  is considered to add up to $10,000(Master Builders) to the cost of a home. Households in an established home might consider retrofitting.

Energyy Features one can consider,as an addittion.
1   A home Skydome power vent to remove hot air from the roof cavity. It can operate on a heat sensitive power switch. It reaches a certain heat level, then switches on, to extract this hot roof air.
2   Underfloor insulation: just as everyone now expects insulation in the home roof. I have just removed the carpets and polished the floor. I find the  timber floor is a relatively poor insulator. Might have to do this one myself this winter.
3   Energy efficient glass in your windows. Home Glass can have an E rating, its a guide to its energy transmission level. There are some cheap and effective PVC coatings that are available these days, too.
4   Home wall insulation is something quite cheap and effective too. One employs a professional service to drill holes and pump inert foam into the external wall cavity; where it solidifies and stablilizes.

5  Last winter, given the rise in electricity prices. I installed seals around all the external doors and windows. Its such a cheap, fast effective way to make a big difference. At a price of about $1.5 per door its cheap. Bought some doorsnakes, too
6  Discovered a power saving ” sleep mode” switch for the big TV. Claims it will cut the home power bill. Some experts claim that up to 10% of you home power consumption, can be from the sleep mode of electrical goods. One can buy this from the big green hardware store.
