Green kitchen and baths
Anyone connected to the building industry knows of the shift to environmentally friendly construction practices. But until recently, the majority of products have focused on the building envelope, interiors and furnishings. The pickings were slim when it came to outfitting kitchens and baths.
No more! Now, manufacturers of faucets, fixtures, appliances, water delivery systems, ventilation, lighting, cabinets and flooring have unleashed a wave of products that are both stylish and resource-conscious.
Designers are taking up the challenge by presenting clients with more 'green' options. Similar to the introduction of large entryways, third bathrooms and flat screen TVs, higher-end clients - both residential and commercial - often are among the first and most responsive to green initiatives.
True, some of today's green products require a premium price and may have a longer payback. But in the near future there will appear the types of designs of even more eye-appealing and cost-efficient options. And there is plenty of good news right now. Today's refrigerators require just 20 percent of the energy needed to run those of 30 years ago. Water-conserving toilets and other fixtures slash water use by more than 50 percent. On-demand or instantaneous water heaters save substantial energy and water. Daylighting controls and reduced-wattage lights can brighten kitchens and baths for a fraction of former costs.
Notes on the Text
pickings - вигода, прибуток payback - період окупності
residential and commercial тут при- slash - різко скорочувати
ватні та юридичні особи fraction - частка, крупиця
