Energy efficiency is an essential part of building a healthier environment that offers multiple benefits to you and the society as a whole.
Energy optimization is more than just buying and using energy-efficient appliances. Although this can help lower your energy use and carbon footprint, you can make significant changes by upgrading to an energy-efficient home.
Una Apartments by Arthaland is expanding the options of Filipinos when it comes to healthy homes. Modern condo projects like this showcase just how beneficial energy-efficient features are.
Here are the top reasons to buy a home that optimizes energy use:
Your home’s temperature, humidity, and air movement contribute to its comfort level. This has been taken into account at Una Apartments; hence its units are airtight with high-quality operable windows, a balcony, and access to Energy Recovery Ventilator. These features control the air circulation inside the home and maintain comfortable temperatures.
Having a source of natural light is also a standard feature in energy-efficient condos like Una Apartments. This helps warm your home and lowers the risk of illnesses and mold growth.
Features that improve ventilation or allow fresh air can benefit household members suffering from allergies or asthma. Proper ventilation also helps eliminate moisture, unpleasant odors, bacteria, and pollutants inside your home.
At Una Apartments, a condo with an efficient building envelope, managing airflow won’t be a problem. All units come with a balcony, providing instant access to fresh air. Further, the presence of good insulation, highly-efficient windows, and sufficiently sealed gaps increase the durability of the buildings.
To take the residential experience one step above your expectations, Una Apartments has easy access to a Health and Wellness Clinic powered by The Medical City. Both Una Apartments and the clinic are part of Sevina Park, a sustainable and close-knit neighborhood of eco-friendly properties in Laguna.
Sevina Park is masterplanned with 60% green and open spaces, while Una Apartments has facilities promoting active lifestyles. These include swimming pools, a play area, and a fitness center, to name a few.
One popular reason for switching to an energy-efficient home is its ability to help you save money over time. Lower utility bills result from less energy used when cooling or lighting up your home.
In Una Apartments, you can lower utility bills by 20%, thanks to its units with energy-efficient air conditioning and lighting systems. These units also have low-flow plumbing fixtures, which reduce water consumption. In addition to saving money on your monthly bills, conserving water helps prevent water pollution in nearby rivers, lakes, and other bodies of water.
As you improve your home’s energy efficiency, you depend less on carbon-intensive power plants. On a personal level, this translates to increased comfort and savings, but on a societal level, you are contributing to environmental success.
Energy efficiency is key to sustainable development, which is why Arthaland ensures that its projects have the latest energy-efficiency technology. Through Una Apartments and Sevina Park, the developer aims to improve the lives of Filipinos while respecting ecological limits.
Sevina Park is Southeast Asia’s first and only development with Platinum certification under the LEED for Neighborhood Development and LEED for Homes categories. It is also a recipient of the BERDE Districts’ 5-Star rating.
When buying a property, you would want to receive an excellent return on investment (ROI) and recoup some of the money you spent. ROI can take different forms, such as the home’s enhanced comfort level and reduced utility costs. But more importantly, energy-efficient homes have the potential to fetch higher prices in the future.
As environmental consciousness continues to rise, the demand for energy-efficient homes will also increase. These are investment options with financial benefits, most especially when sold or used for passive income years later.
In the case of Una Apartments, location also contributes to property appreciation. This project is in a self-sustaining community but still accessible to key road networks, business hubs, and other essential facilities. These include SLEX, CALAX, Laguna Technopark, and DLSU Laguna Campus.
For an investment-worthy and energy-efficient home, consider Una Apartments by Arthaland.
