Low-carbon life concept
Develop low-carbon living habits
1. Daily rice washing water can be used to wash hands and clean furniture, which is clean and natural.
2. Laying waste newspapers on the bottom of the wardrobe can not only absorb moisture, but also absorb the peculiar smell in the wardrobe;
3. Don't throw away the used mask paper. Using it to wipe the surface of jewelry, furniture or belt will not only shine, but also leave the fragrance of mask paper;

8. Develop the habit of turning off the power supply of electrical appliances at will to avoid wasting electricity;
9. Try not to use refrigerators and air conditioners, and use electric fans or electric fans when it is hot.
After the re-creation of manual DIY, you will find that the original waste is also a treasure, so the home environment is healthy and full of creative little joy. "Low-carbon people" are using the changes of their own life details to prove that climate change is no longer just a concern of environmentalists, government officials and experts and scholars, but is closely related to each of us. Nowadays, advocating healthy living has become a trend. "Low-carbon life" is no longer just an ideal, but also a new lifestyle worth looking forward to.
There are a few points that are not easy to notice:
1. Replace the electronic alarm clock with the traditional clockwork alarm clock every day;
2. Turn off the computer power during lunch break and after work;
3. Turn off the lights and air conditioners once they are not used; Once the mobile phone is charged, unplug the charging plug immediately;
4. Choose to dry clothes and avoid using drum dryer; Replace 45 minutes of exercise on the treadmill with jogging in a place where the air is fresh and suitable for running, such as a nearby park;
5. Replace the 60-watt bulb with an energy-saving lamp; Don't drive, ride a bike or walk;
6. When using the computer, try to use low brightness and open fewer programs to save electricity.
7. If possible, try to watch less TV. It is recommended to read more books to save electricity and increase your knowledge.
Simplicity and generosity are most conducive to energy saving.
In recent years, simple design style has gradually become the dominant style in family decoration. Simple style is the most reasonable key factor of energy saving in home decoration. Of course, simplicity does not mean simplicity. As long as the design is comprehensive, the simple style is very suitable for modern decoration, especially for young people. And this design style can minimize the waste of materials in home decoration. Transparent design is now gradually accepted by more and more owners, which maintains ventilation and air circulation and greatly reduces energy waste.
Color returns to environmental protection and nature.
It used to be white at home. With the development of chemical industry, there are more and more colors at home. In fact, the use of color is also related to energy saving. Excessive use of dark colors such as red, green and purple will actually waste energy.
Especially in high temperature season, because dark paint absorbs heat, it is widely designed and used on home decoration walls, absorbing a lot of heat during the day, and using air conditioning at night will increase the energy consumption of the room.
Green building materials to create a low-carbon life
In the process of decoration, in fact, we can use lightweight partition materials such as light steel keel and gypsum board in some "zones" that don't pay attention to fastness, and try to use clay solid bricks, spotlights and aluminum alloy doors and windows as little as possible. In some designs, we can also consider giving up. For example, spotlights and light strips that most families only use occasionally are actually very expensive designs and are likely to become a great waste. Through material comparison, color matching and other means, it can completely replace spotlights and light belts.
In addition, when moving to a new house, try not to change the furniture that can continue to be used. Use more bamboo and rattan furniture. These materials are highly renewable and can also reduce the consumption of forest resources.
Low-carbon life, the home industry seems to have gone ahead. From environmental protection materials to environmental protection decoration, from cutting down trees to building fast-growing forests, from lighting roof design to solar lamps. ...
Human life activities need to consume energy and release a lot of carbon dioxide. Scientists have found that in the past 200 years, the carbon dioxide content in the air has increased by 30%, which is generally believed to be related to various extreme climates. People began to call for "low-carbon economy, low-carbon life". This is a way of life, using high-tech and clean energy to reduce energy consumption and pollution without reducing the quality of life.
Low-carbon life is not profound. Dongyi Risheng designers believe that the most primitive form of "low carbon" is how to do the most with the least money. In the early stage of decoration, the owners and designers tried their best to decorate a comfortable, safe and healthy home with the lowest cost, the most common materials and the simplest design. However, with the development of society, people began to work hard on personality style, special materials and high-tech intelligent products, which undoubtedly consumed a lot of unnecessary energy. Nowadays, serious environmental pollution, energy shortage and economic crisis have prompted the original simple decoration concept to upgrade to a low-carbon life.
The trend of minimalist design has returned again.
"In recent years, although the concept of home improvement style is constantly changing, modern and simple design style has always been the mainstream." Jia Rui's decoration designer said that many mid-to high-end customers offered to refuse to adopt the luxurious home improvement design concept in the past, and instead took a simple route, taking natural ventilation and natural lighting as the principle, reducing the use probability of air conditioners and electric lights, and saving decorative materials, electricity and construction costs.
"If we can minimize unnecessary internal structural transformation of houses, it will be even more' low-carbon'." Ye Zhifeng's decoration designer believes that in design, the concept of low carbon is actually consistent with the concept of "light decoration and heavy decoration" emphasized by some home improvement companies in the past two years. In decoration design, some fashionable families no longer simply use ceilings, wall cabinets and decorative shapes made of some expensive decorative materials to fill the space. They pay more attention to space layout and function setting, and pay attention to the distinction between decoration and decoration. They will use practical furniture and just the right decorations to express their strong personal style and interest.
The designer of Dongyi Risheng suggested that simple decoration should follow the principle of "less decoration, less decoration". Even if there are many problems in the room structure, don't make large-scale changes. Consumers can communicate with designers more and solve or make up for it in other ways. Use less decorative techniques such as partition in the room, and try to achieve the effect of changing with the space. If you must use partitions, try to combine them with lockers, bookcases and other furniture to reduce their chances of independent existence and increase indoor space. In addition, reducing the setting of partitions can also accelerate the indoor air flow and reduce the energy consumption of household appliances such as air conditioners and electric fans.
Make full use of recyclable materials
The raw materials in the household industry need to consume a lot of energy in collection, manufacturing and transportation, and rarely achieve "low carbon" and "sustainable development". "Home improvement design is popular with' natural style', not only to cater to the rural style." Huatai classic decoration designers believe that the significance of the popular "natural wind" in home decoration lies in its protection of the natural environment, and suggest that owners should try to use recyclable materials when choosing materials such as wood, cotton, metal, plastic, glass and rattan.
In the choice of decorative materials, many people do not pay attention to environmental protection, but easily fall into some misunderstandings. In the decoration process, in fact, we can choose more light partition materials such as light steel keel and gypsum board, and use less materials such as clay solid bricks, spotlights, aluminum alloy doors and windows that waste a lot of resources, which also reduces the carbon emissions of home improvement projects from the side.
Some home decoration designers also believe that the rational use of waste materials in home life is also of great significance for creating a "low-carbon" living environment. For example, drying the drunk tea leaves to make a pillow core is not only comfortable, but also helps to improve sleep; It is simple and convenient to use waste paper shells as ashtrays and throw them away after use. After careful DIY, these unremarkable wastes can turn waste into treasure, making their homes more environmentally friendly, warmer and full of joy in realizing creativity.
energy conservation
The core of low-carbon home is energy saving, but energy saving does not mean sacrificing the comfort of living, or turning off the air conditioner or heating system. Low-carbon life is actually an attitude, which is to make people's body and mind in a comfortable state on the premise of having the least impact on human living environment and even helping to improve human living environment. For example, using renewable energy such as solar energy for lighting and heating; There are many zero-emission buildings in Europe with good thermal insulation effect. Under the condition of natural ventilation, the insulation layer can adjust the indoor temperature to a suitable level.
