Innovative and Multifunctional Design Features
The very design of the apartments themselves have tranquility and privacy in mind. Each element included in the construction and design process of these homes has been carefully considered in terms of multi functionality and the conservation of both the earth’s resources and your personal assets.
Planted Terraces Go Beyond External Appeal
The planted terraces in each apartment are not only there to increase beauty. They also help to absorb sound, provide shade and detoxify air pollution by absorbing carbon dioxide.
The automatic drip irrigation watering system for the vertical garden utilizes recycled water from your shower and rainwater. This recycled water will also be used for flushing toilets. This enables a significant reduction in drain on the national water supply as much as 45 percent.
The plants also reduce the amount of direct sunlight that contacts windows, which helps keep apartments nice and cool. The oxygen produced during the daytime by the plants reduces pollution and cleans the air. Homes will be less dusty as the leaves on the plants catch particles from the air.
Air conditioners won’t have to be very large and complex and work as hard in this scenario, resulting in a reduction in energy costs. The flats at Clearpoint are also designed to provide cross-ventilation.The shade of the plants on the terraces buffers radiant heat that can reflect from heated up tiles on the esterior of the flats.
The balconies you’ll find extending from the flats at Clearpoint are larger than you will find in other rooms to rent. The spaciousness lends itself naturally to a greater capacity to entertain guests. The shade from the plants keep things cool there.
Solar Panels Supplement Power
Solar panels will be cover the roof of Clearpoint Residencies and are expected to provide enough energy to power lighting in the shared places that residents use such as the hallway and elevators. Solar power will also provide the needed energy to power up the water recycling system and an on-site sewage recycling/treatment system that serves all the apartments on the property.
Living Sustainably is Cost Effective
There are two aspects to “going green”. One reason is that people disagree with the generalized systems in place to contribute to waste, abundance for some and poverty for others.
Another reason is that many people come to the conclusion that the way everyone else is living may not be the best way for them. They seek out other approaches that make more sense for their morals and their budgets.
Many Reasons to Feel Good About Sustainable Apartment Living
A feeling of harmony and peace with the environment is linked to a sense of personal responsibility. You may not be able to change the world, but you can take responsibility for how you live your own life and set the example for others to do the same. The ripple effect may take time, but positive changes for the earth and those who live on it are bound to take place.
Clearpoint Residencies offers a viable option to people who want to maintain homes while taking the protection of precious resources on the planet seriously. Ensuring the sustainable use of resources for future generations to come provides a feeling of peace in the mind.
Aside from the abstract concepts, there is a practical side to choosing apartments in sustainable living centered complexes. In the long term, they are more cost effective due to the features and designs that have not neglected the practical aspects of living sustainably. Living more simply and with less financial demands is possible at Clearpoint.
Enjoying High Maintenance Facilities Without The Extra Work
The automated drip irrigation system that will be used throughout the building maintains the gardens so that occupants do not have to water the plants.
The on-site solid waste recycling center makes your recycling efforts minimal. All you have to do is bring your materials there and they are sorted out for you.
Recycling Systems Reduce Waste
Grey water recycling systems use water from sinks and showers to flush toilets which saves a lot of water from being wasted. It is run through a recycling system that processes it so that it will not contain harmful microbes. Aside from being used to flush the toilet, the recycled water is also used in the drip irrigation system for the plants.
An on-site solid waste recycling facility will also be incorporated at Clearpoint Residencies. Residents there will deposit their glass, paper, plastic and metal there and it will be separated for them. This will be sold to relevant industries and the money generated will be put back into the building, helping cut down on maintenance costs for the occupants.
