In Russia, they began to build "green" home

However, their popularity has been questioned. Experts believe the Russians are not yet ready to forsake the comfort and savings to overpay for the benefit of the environment. According to them, despite the fact that in Europe such homes are extremely popular in our country to even talk about such early, and there are a few reasons, according to RBC daily ». Firstly, as such, eco-friendly homes are only applicable where the issue of housing should not overreact. But our citizens are unable to provide for themselves even the most affordable housing in a typical home, that really nothing to talk about "green" home whose value is much higher. Thus, according to analysts' estimates, prices for apartments in eco-friendly house for about 2-20% higher than in ordinary homes, and self-sufficiency such purchase occurs only through the 10, even 20 years. Secondly, the enormous role played by the mentality. The fact that our people are not ready to limit themselves to the consumption of resources. Meanwhile, environmentalists are counted, "green" homes could help to reduce energy consumption and water for 40-75%! Not surprisingly, these residential developments make efficient use of water, electricity, gas and heat. True, local developers and are distinguished. So, many of them confined to insulation of pipes and facades, installation of meters, as well as the use of environmentally friendly building materials. True, the builders themselves do not complain, demand for apartments of this type, and so high, and most likely it will grow. In general, the development of Eco-development in Russia began with the adoption of the law on energy conservation and energy efficiency. An example to be emulated in this field should be the authorities of St. Petersburg, who hope in the near future to demonstrate the real savings of resources in "green" building projects such as kindergartens, schools, etc. Earlier, Russian officials have begun to reorganize domestic vehicles. To this end, there was even a working group, which broke the Russian transfer transport the gas. Soon it is expected that the municipal fleet of vehicles will be extremely environmentally friendly.
