Eco House



I visited the Environmental Museum of Kita-Kyushu City on last Saturday. One of the section attracted my attention is a model of Eco-House in Japan. The model with a scale of 1:10 displaying different features for making our house an environmental friendly one. The features include orientation of building, exterior material, interior material and wallpaper, insulation material and sashes, rooftop greenery, energy efficiency, solar energy, heat reflection, composite woods, biotope, recyclable materials and items, water harvesting and conservation, waste water recycling, garbage processor, eco transport and many others. It is a real educational material for general public especially the children.

Later, i visited an electrical shop close by and I noticed that many home appliances are energy efficiency and some have even produced with recycled materials. I also found the waste processor for household. With that, I think low waste emission at household level is achievable.
