As far as projects go, building a sustainable home and reducing your carbon footprint is something many homeowners are considering — after all, creating a greener environment makes for a brighter future.

The only obstacle, depending on your budget, is the expense. “With the current cost of living, what investments to make may not be top of mind,” observes Simon Bones, founder and CEO of retrofit firm Genous. “But those with some investable cash may be thinking about what they can do to generate good returns — and save energy costs while also doing some good for the environment,” notes Bones.
