Sustainable Home Creation

South Boardman is an ideal location because of its suburban and rural mix, where most individuals own their homes (Niche.com Inc., 2022). The conservative nature of the township offers great tranquility to residents seeking quiet and calmness.

3)Timber

2) The cardboard panels can be replaced with structural insulated panels. These panels save energy costs by 50 percent when compared to homes that are built using conventional materials (Raney, 2011).

3)The timber can be replaced with recycled steel, which reduces the extent of environmental destruction while using wood. It would also have a positive impact on the environment through the reduction of landfills (Raney, 2011).

1) Solar energy can be used to heat water and light the house to minimize consumption.

2)Avoid leaving lights on unnecessarily is also important in saving energy costs

3) Using biomass as an alternative energy source should enable cost savings and reduction of energy expenses.

1) Harvesting rainwater

Harvesting rainwater is important in substituting the amount of water that is used from other sources. It also eliminates the loss of such water. It can be used for all activities in the home.

2) Recycle and reuse wastewater in the garden

The water from different points of the home can be treated and used in the garden. This reduces the amount of water usage in the house.

3)Replace current toilet bowls with low-flow ones that conserve water

The existing toilet bowls consume significant amounts of water for cleanliness to be achieved. It is important to replace these with toilets that need only 1.28 gallons instead of the usual 1.6 that the EPA recommends, or 5 gallons for older toilets (Rae, 2021). This will save water costs alongside consumption.
