Energy Efficient Building Materials
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
8
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.
