In this step, you have to make decisions regarding the overall appearance of your home, its features, and floorplan. Considering different factors there may be different types of floor plans but in the light of the current trends, open and broken floor plans are the two of the most trending ones among them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A layout with an open floor plan is considered more energy efficient because living in such types of homes, you will require fewer resources to power up your home. Open floor plan may let you make the maximum use of daylight with fewer partitions and walls around, you can easily distribute it throughout your home. The same goes for the air conditioning unit, which will you maintain the indoor temperatures in your open plan. This is how the open plan makes your home energy efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: While working on the layout of your house, don\u2019t forget to review the construction bylaws of the society you live in. As an example, you can take a look at the construction <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/construction-bylaws-dha-karachi.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">bylaws in DHA Karachi<\/a> that every homeowner needs to observe while undertaking construction projects in the neighbourhood of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/area-guides\/dha-karachi\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Defence, Karachi<\/a>. Similar is the case with posh neighbourhoods in other cities like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/area-guides\/dha-lahore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DHA Lahore<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/area-guides\/dha-islamabad\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DHA Islamabad<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Orientation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you know how the open plans make your home energy efficient, let\u2019s talk about the site orientation and how to make the best use of it considering the environmental conditions of your selected location. Work on your home orientation by breaking it down room by room. As per the position of the sun in this region of the world, parts of a home facing east receive sunlight during the morning and are cooler in the afternoon, which are, of course, ideal for kitchens and bedrooms. On the other hand, south and west-facing rooms that receive sunlight during most of the day can be best converted into living and dining rooms. Garages, bathrooms, and laundries do best with north-facing parts of your home as they receive low sunlight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Home Insulation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another way to make your home energy-efficient while designing it is by installing home insulation. The climate in most of the regions in Pakistan usually stays hot and dry all year round. So, if there isn\u2019t any form of insulation installed around your house, the heat will be absorbed from the sun rays and the trapped heat may even bother you after the sun sets in. To counter such a problem, you can insulate the walls, ceiling, and roof of your home to maintain bearable temperatures indoors. There are different types of home insulation materials available these days. There are also a number of ways to insulate the windows in your home to prepare it for the colder season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Note: If your living space feels like an oven during the summer season, then here are some of the best <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/tips-keep-house-cool-summer.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ways to get rid of the trapped heat<\/a> and make your home feel cool.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Glass In Interior<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/glass21-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoy a sunfilled living space with a glass roof\" class=\"wp-image-73006\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/glass21-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/glass21-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/glass21-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/glass21-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/cdn-blog.zameen.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/glass21.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Having a glass ceiling is one of the best ways to enjoy a sun-filled living space <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Incorporating glass in the interior is one of the most effective tips to design an energy-efficient home. Installing glass panels and large floor to ceiling windows not only uplifts the aesthetics of your home but also makes it energy efficient. Both transparent and glazed types of glass allow you to make the maximum use of natural light in your home during the day. Even at night, you can light up maximum parts of your living space with the help of using minimum lighting if you have transparent glass panels installed around your home. Here are some clever <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/how-to-uplift-home-interiors-with-glass-applications.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ways to incorporate glass interior<\/a> when working on tips to design an energy-efficient home.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Smart Appliances<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Technology is getting smarter and energy-efficient with each passing day. Now we have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/energy-savers-or-leds.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">energy savers and LED bulbs<\/a> that we can use as home lighting to save energy. There are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/smart-gadgets-homes-pakistan.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smart devices available in Pakistan<\/a> these days that can help you make your home energy-efficient. Moreover, we can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/blog\/inverter-ac-vs-normal-ac.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">choose inverter ACs over normal ACs<\/a> to bring down your electricity bills during the summer season. Other than that, there are many different types of smart gadgets that can be useful for you in terms of designing a smart home. Devices like smart blinds, smart bulbs, and smart switches can help you save a lot of electricity units by maximising the use of available energy resources.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Smart lightings come with built-in sensors that use infrared technology to automatically turn on and off when someone walks into the room. One of the best tips to build an energy-efficient home is to incorporate smart appliances in your living space, which can be bought from some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zameen.com\/partners\/products\/home-management\/home-appliances\/other-home-appliances\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">best electronic brands in Pakistan<\/a> that are also the honourable partners of Zameen.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ventilation System<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to install an effective ventilation system while designing an energy-efficient home. It is how you can maintain ideal temperatures. The ventilation system installed in your home may feature exhaust fans, wide west-facing windows, strategically placed ducts, and hoods.
