Building your own home sounds like a dream to just everyone you ask. From foundation to the roof, backyard to interiors, imagine how fun (and so much work) would it be to create your dream home. And while many still prefer the life in condos in over-crowded cities, some others take into consideration the alternative, the sub-urbs house. A place where you can have enough room for a nice backyard, maybe with a little fountain or a waterfall, dozens of trees and flowers blooming everywhere. A green place is almost a luxury for many of us in our days, but what if we could build our own green home?




There are plenty of developers now that offer green projects, with houses built on your direct specifications, but which also respect the environment and help keeping the nature clean. So, if this sounds appealing for you and you are looking to have your own home in the near feature, maybe some of the following will come in hand:

If you go to www.greenisuniversal.com you will have a nice surprise; built on a rather simple platform, there is also the option to play an online game in which you can design your perfect house, as green and ecological as you want. In the very constructive game you have a budget of 100,000 dollars and some features to chose from, so that you can create the best house, using the minimum of resources and making it as effective as possible. Besides the fact that allows you to spend around 5-10 minutes of constructive time, you can also learn some important values from the game such as the best materials to build from, each clime, its goods and drawbacks and, of course, the best ways to produce or recycle energy in order to have low-prices bills and maximum efficiency. So that, you find out things about best green materials like wood, brick, earthen or recycled. Using alternative energy items such as solar panels, heating, wind power generators or hydroelectricity will make your construction up to 300% more efficient than a common home that uses non of the above. In terms of efficiency items, buying  energy efficient lightning or using recycled materials will also help you have a greener house. Using the smart home technology will help you save wasted energy, water and heating.

All in all, the game doesn’t have the purpose to entertain only, but to draw a message to those of you interesting in building a green house that respects nature and the environment, and which will also make you spend less money on monthly charges. Not to mention it will provide you with unlimited sources of energy that you can later use to power an intelligent system that will run through your entire home, from refrigerator to computer, AC and loads more.
