Natural Light

A popular and cost efficient trend in environmental home design is increased day lighting. This use of the sun’s natural rays utilizes windows to light your home naturally instead of artificially.

Additionally, shades can maintain a comfortable temperature throughout your home. Take advantage of natural light during the winter months by drawing curtains during the day to increase internal temperatures and drawing curtains at night to preserve the warmth. This will zap your urge to crank up the heat and thus reduce your heating bills.

Specifically, shades from Lutron found at the Bright Light Design Center can be programmed to open and shut automatically. You don’t even have to be home to be green!
