My husband and I strive to be as environmentally conscientious as possible! For the majority of our commutes, my friend and I walk, ride our bikes and take public moveation, but my buddy and I grow more than 2 of our own fruits and vegetables, compost organic family room waste and make use of rainwater for irrigation, but our property is outfitted with a geothermal heat pump, which is considered the most environmentally friendly heating and cooling system by the Environmental Protection Agency.
Just recently, my friend and I implemented a smart property automation system, and this substitute contributes to significant energy savings.
The automated operation of important systems and appliances is also charmingly convenient, reducing time and effort. The automation system caters to our yearly schedule and preferences and the changing demands of the weather, and incorporating a smart thermostat and occupancy sensors, the system adjusts temperature to ensure comfort while also minimizing energy consumption. It knows when the property is empty and when certain rooms are occupied, then with zone control, the heat pump provides heating or cooling for comfort in only those areas that are in use. My buddy and I have also invested into smart blinds, and during the winter, the automation system opens up the blinds in the afternoon to allow in sunlight. The warmth helps to reduce heating demands. In the summer, the blinds are kept closed to prevent sunlight from adding to the workload of the air conditioning system. Our lights are also managed by the automation system. They automatically turn on when my friend and I enter a room and turn off when my friend and I leave, but all of these operations contribute to a reduced carbon footprint and also save a enjoyable deal of money on our yearly energy costs.
