In today’s economic context of rising gas, energy, and fuel prices, all we could want from our homes and apartments is to be as energy efficient as possible. However, it is not too late to inform ourselves about how we can make costs more efficient, carefully choosing which investments we will make to have lower bills for maintenance and utilities, as well as for other categories of consumption. It is important to develop a culture of valuing natural resources, in the sense of using them sparingly, just as much as we need. Moreover, although many of us still look at sustainability with skepticism and rigidity, we must know that it is based on circular economy principles, among which we mention the reuse of resources and materials, balanced production, and moderate consumption. These notions can help us save important resources, in terms of those we need to lead a normal life and financial ones.

So how can we integrate these concepts right into our homes and apartments — that is, the place where we can begin to educate ourselves and inspire others by personal example? First, by learning what an energy-efficient house/apartment means and understanding how they work following an ethical consumption of natural resources.

An example of energy-efficient houses and apartments

When developers take on redefining the standards in the construction of houses/apartments in Romania and aligning with the vision of western countries, where sustainability, the happiness of tenants, and innovation are welcomed, a development concept is born focused on doing good to people and bring joy into life with respect for the environment. h4l has rethought the way housing is built in Romania, shifting the focus to the quality of life, emphasizing that the most important component is the community that is formed here. Thus, from the environment created for them will start the inspiration to lead a sustainable and balanced life, to celebrate the nature that is our host and source of life.

Houses and apartments in h4l neighborhoods are built in such a way that they are energy-efficient houses or apartments, but maintain a high level of comfort in the service of the residents’ health and well-being. Basically, they are designed to reduce unnecessary energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and demand for non-renewable resources, while providing very good living conditions and saving significant amounts of money.

In addition, the preparation for an h4l energy-efficient apartment/house for smart technologies (in the area of electrical installations) of consumption control and temperature regulation with the help of gadgets is particularly important, right from the design phase. On the same note, 10% of the parking spaces will be prepared for the installation of charging stations for electric cars.
