Changes during and after Covid 19

How the pandemic changed the spaces of the house

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought changes to all aspects of our lives, including where we live. More adults are working from home, more children are being homeschooled, and dining and entertainment have moved outdoors.

Productive spaces

Home designs are changing to create productive workspaces for all family members. For example, a niche or alcove can provide enough space for a home office, and the “office” incorporates a small workspace within an existing closet. School spaces can be created in the secondary bedrooms so that each child can work without the distraction of her siblings. Adding lighting, electrical outlets, and digital ports to these spaces will make Zoom or Google conference calls more manageable.

Shopping from home

The pandemic has driven many to shop primarily online. The corresponding increase in package deliveries has led to an increase in porch break-ins. Designers now make delivery security easy, with front porch lockboxes and even alcoves accessible only to delivery drivers and the owner.

Home Gym

Gyms and fitness centers were strictly closed in 2020, so sales of home fitness machines like the Peloton and training mirrors increased. As a result, some homeowners may now prefer a home workout space over a home theater.

Relaxing vacation

Travel restrictions have inspired many Americans to invest in improved garden spaces: outdoor kitchens, patios, decks, playgrounds, pools, and more. Plus, outdoor space designs that incorporate outdoor refrigerators, sinks, and even bathrooms mean guests never need to enter the house.

In just a few years they have gone from being a futuristic artifact to being part of our daily lives. We explain how solar panels work, one of the keys to a renewable future for the planet.

 

 

 

A newly built green home offers a great way to use less energy overall and enjoy a healthier living environment. When you’re building a new home, there are several ways to incorporate green design into your home. Consider the following ideas to ensure you have a new home that is as green as possible.

Windows and insulation

Windows and insulation can go a long way in providing a more energy efficient home. When deciding where to place your windows, consider placing more than half of them on the side facing south. Doing this helps this area of your home stay warmer without having to keep using your furnace or heating system. With energy efficient windows, like those with Low-E windows, you can also keep these areas from getting too hot in the summer. Having a well-insulated home combined with energy-efficient window placement can help you further reduce energy use.

Insulation helps prevent heat from escaping your home in the winter, reducing energy use for heating.

What is a solar panel and how does it work?

The sun’s rays fall on plates of semiconductor materials that transform the energy received into electricity. Those responsible for carrying out this transformation are called solar cells. They form solar panels and are small cells made of crystalline silicon or gallium arsenide.

Smallest square meters

New homes come in a wide range of sizes, but you don’t necessarily have to go for a bigger one. Think about how much space you really need for your daily life to feel comfortable. You may find that you can get a smaller new construction home that fits all your needs. For example, you can choose a floor plan with one or two fewer extra rooms instead of getting one with rooms you may not even use.
