Which Building Materials are Better for a Low Carbon Footprint?

Building Materials that Reduce Carbon Footprint
In today’s video, we’re going to focus on three materials that could play an important role in reducing your home's carbon footprint: non polystyrene ICF; fly ash; and straw bales. Carbon footprints are the emissions from human activities that contribute to climate change and the health of the planet. The materials we’re talking about represent sustainable construction alternatives with the potential to reduce carbon footprint.
Selecting the right building materials not only reduces your carbon footprint but also demonstrates your commitment to environmental responsibility, aiding in the mitigation of climate change. While these eco-friendly materials may come with slightly higher initial costs, they offer long-term advantages by lowering energy consumption and maintenance expenses. Ultimately, opting for materials with a lower carbon footprint benefits both the environment and the quality and financial aspects of your construction project.
Watch till the end and learn how these three materials can help achieve zero carbon certification!
