Absolute Tiny Houses specialises in designing and building portable tiny homes in NZ that are built off-site and transported to your site of choice. The concept of living in a tiny home is growing in popularity, and with this in mind, it is time we look at another advantage of tiny home living: sustainability.
There are numerous ecological benefits of living in a tiny house, and in this blog, we will explore them! So, without further ado, let’s get to it.
Off-Site Construction
As mentioned previously, our tiny homes are built off-site. This means that our carbon footprint is significantly reduced during the construction process, especially as the house is pre-built away from the land and only needs to be transported there. As a result, there is no need for materials and equipment to be transported all the way to the site and then back again.
Less Energy Consumption
Since a tiny house is significantly smaller than a standard house, you can expect to use less energy than you would with living in the latter. Not only is this beneficial for the environment, but it can also save you money in the long run, especially as you utilise fewer appliances, improving the efficiency of your energy usage. For instance, it will be much easier to make and keep the house warm or cool during the winter and summer months in comparison to heating or cooling a multi-floor house.
Less Space, Less Waste
The lack of space in a tiny house is not always a drawback – for those who prefer a minimalist lifestyle, tiny houses are also ideal for reducing the amount of waste you produce and hoard. A smaller space allows you to be more efficient at resource consumption and how you use your space.
At Absolute Tiny Houses, our tiny homes in NZ are designed and built to be sustainable and eco-friendly. If you would like to reap the benefits of a sustainable lifestyle, our tiny homes can help you do just that.
