- Energy Efficiency: Solar panels, energy-efficient windows, and insulation reduce energy consumption.
- Sustainable Materials: Recycled or renewable building materials, like bamboo flooring or reclaimed wood.
- Water Conservation: Low-flow fixtures, rainwater harvesting systems, and drought-resistant landscaping.
