The use of plants can be key when building a house bioclimatic, considered this as a house designed from an ecological approach that makes the most of natural resources. In this context, plants are easy to implement and maintain, although all kinds of elements must be studied to assess their suitability, such as the orientation of the construction, the distribution of holes or even the study of the native species to plant them and thus collaborating in a valuable way in its conservation.
A suitable choice of plant species can also help local fauna to find a favorable habitat, whether they are pollinating insects, squirrels, amphibians, small reptiles or birds, let's say. Everything will depend on the possibilities offered by the area in which the house is located and our desire to do it with care, well advised.
Well-being and savings
On the other hand, it is well known that rooftops or facades covered with plants help energy efficiency, as they isolate from heat and cold. Likewise, if we are lucky enough to have a large garden, it would be perfect to plant deciduous trees to stop the sun in summer, while allowing as much as possible to arrive in the cold months.
Let's not forget that plants are a source of organic fertilizer constant, while they can receive the compost that we are making from plant waste and the same organic household waste. In the same way, rainwater barrels facilitate irrigation and even allow water changes in small ponds. The shower water will also be easily reusable for watering the plants.
Finally, the strategic placement of the plants will allow us to naturally decorate our home while protecting ourselves from extreme temperatures throughout the year, as well as from the noise pollution.
