Eco-Friendly Products for Home Screened Buildings
A practical guide to choosing sustainable, healthy materials and systems for modern homes.
What is a Home Screened Building?
A Home Screened Building is a residential structure designed or assessed according to sustainability standards. These buildings are “screened” to ensure that materials, systems, and design choices contribute to energy efficiency, water conservation, indoor air quality, and reduced environmental impact.
What Are Eco-Friendly Products?
Eco-friendly products are building materials, finishes, systems, and furnishings designed to minimize harm to the environment and human health. They include:
- Recycled material-containing products – made from post-consumer or industrial waste
- Reused products – salvaged or second-hand items refurbished for use
- Bamboo and sustainable wooden products – renewable alternatives to conventional timber
- Green-certified products – certified under standards like GreenPro, FSC, or other eco-labels
- Low-toxic, low-VOC products – paints, adhesives, and finishes that are healthier for indoor air
- Energy-efficient appliances and systems – lighting, heating, cooling, and renewable energy solutions
