Efficient Windows, Doors, and Siding Can Reduce

Your Carbon Footprint

In a world where everybody is getting more environmentally conscious it’s good to know that companies like Conservation Construction make products that save energy and can help the environment. In today’s world you can buy hybrid cars, use less plastic, and even get windows which help with your energy costs and reduce greenhouse emissions. Let’s go over some of the ways windows, siding and doors are changing the world . . .

Not only do energy efficient products save you a ton of money on your energy bills, they also help the world. With energy efficient products you can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from your home and from the power plants. If everybody were to jump on board and get new windows we could reduce the world’s overall carbon footprint.

Windows

Switching to new windows alone can reduce the annual household’s carbon footprint by up to 12% compared to non-energy efficient products. In addition, energy efficient windows can save between 246-2001 pounds of CO2 a year (equivalent to 13 to 102 gallons of gasoline). On top of helping out our environment, new windows can save you anywhere between 126$ to 465$ a year on energy costs – which will also make you a happier person.

Siding

Siding replacement is a very eco-friendly option. Siding not only reduces your carbon footprint by creating a better energy efficiency for your home, some siding like Vinyl can be installed over most existing exterior substrates to reduce waste. Fiber Cement Siding, which is also available through Conservation Construction, is one of the most Eco-Friendly siding types on the market today. Fiber cement siding emits fewer toxins when destroyed and is made from natural materials like wood-pulp and sand.

Entry Doors & Patio Doors

New energy efficient entry doors and patio doors work the same way as new windows and siding. Doors from Conservation Construction can reduce your energy costs by up to 40%. That’s a huge saving on your energy bill and can help reduce even more carbon emissions.

Energy Efficient Products

Energy Efficient products are always on top ten lists for ways to reduce your carbon footprint. If you have energy efficient exteriors like siding, windows, and new doors this will prevent energy from escaping your home and reduce your overall need to turn up and down the thermostat.
