Cape Town, Western Cape (pressoclock) August 18, 2011 - AVT Solutions, a home automation company offers eco solutions consultation for people looking to adopt the ‘Green Building’ concept and reducing their carbon foot print. The company offers techniques that can reduce the energy consumption, thereby reducing energy costs.

For the uninitiated, a ‘Green Building’ is a building that is energy efficient, eco friendly, resource efficient and of course environmentally responsible. Resources are used in a manner that causes the least impact to the environment.

AVT Solutions provides eco solutions by following different techniques including programming the shades, curtains and thermostat to adjust it according to the time of the day and the season of the year. The thermostat can be controlled from any of the several home automation interfaces including the iPad.

They also use dimmers, timers and occupancy sensors to detect the availability of natural sunshine. “Light intensity is often adjusted by diming off or turning off automatically when rooms are unoccupied. People can also program their pools and sprinklers to source water only during energy-efficient windows. Geysers are replaced with environmentally friendly heat pumps that can be used to heat water,” says the spokesperson for AVT Automation Company.

Buildings that follow the Green Building practices are known to be good for the health as people residing in Green Buildings are known to suffer less from instances of cold, flu and asthma. Not to mention the financial benefits with reduced energy bills.
