This article serious introduces choosing material wisely and ensure the those you select are a part of the whole picture of sustainable home. These are the very ingredients that go into a building, and choosing them wisely makes all the difference in terms of the overall impact of the structure throughout its life.Here are come check list to choose appropriate sustainable material;

- Looking local

However, there is no evidence (other than manufacturers’ claims) that pre-fab uses less material than site built construction. The waste that is generated is concentrated in one location, but I have yet to see anyone substantiate the claim that there is less of it. Also, in the long term, replacing panels can be much more resource intensive than patching drywall. Prefab is great in a lot of ways, but I think the sexiness of it has a lot of people disregarding the efficiency of stick framing; it doesn’t get more modular than that. Not to mention that pre-fab is pretty much the most site in-sensitive building type, and the least local. It is still great piece to read and be aware of selection of suitable materials for house.
Thank you for sharing the information.
