*SAN FRANCISCO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 19, 2021 /* In a new feature article, Ash Gujral, the Founder and President of the Gujral Community Fund, has explored the need for more sustainable housing in 2021.
Sustainable housing - which is sometimes referred to as green housing - is an approach that uses natural and environmentally-friendly processes and materials to build safe, durable, comfortable, and energy-efficient homes, which are powered in whole or part by solar, wind or other geothermal sources. In addition, sustainable homes are designed with air-exchange mechanisms that minimize exposure to mold, mildew, fumes and formaldehyde that are emitted by many everyday household consumer items such as furniture, flooring, paints, and so on.
In the feature article, Ash Gujral - who is a passionate advocate for sustainable housing - highlights that contrary to what some people have been led to believe, sustainable housing is not prohibitively or excessively expensive to build or buy.
"Many of the materials used in sustainable housing such as repulped paper fiber, hemp, rammed earth, and straw bale, can be purchased locally, which dramatically reduces some of the supply chain and logistics costs associated with conventional housing," commented Ash Gujral, whose renowned charitable organization the Gujral Community Fund is committed to making San Francisco more welcoming and accessible to all. "Furthermore, compared to conventional housing, the combination of better indoor air quality, more consistent indoor temperature levels, and reduced ongoing maintenance all translate into lower total costs of ownership. On top of this, owners of sustainable homes will likely find that their property appreciates in value more rapidly than conventional homes, as more and more home buyers make eco-friendly living a core priority in their lives."
Of course, while saving money is obviously important and cannot be overlooked, the central fact remains that the most important and compelling reason for more sustainable housing in 2021 is to reduce adverse environmental damage.
"Sustainable homes dramatically reduce environmental impact; not just in during development construction, but through decades or even centuries of efficient operation," commented Ash Gujral. "At the same time, sustainable homes are built to co-exist in harmony with nature. They compliment and enhance the natural landscape, rather than dominate and obstruct it. We need to facilitate partnerships across all sectors - public, private and non-profit - to make sustainable housing a top priority. The sooner we start, the sooner we can turn the housing crisis into an opportunity that benefits current and future generations."
