Vancouver will soon lead the world in green building design and construction, thanks to the innovative Greenest City Action Plan.
As part of this initiative, the City is working to reduce the amount of energy consumed by the city’s new homes 33% by 2020, with the goal of making all new buildings “carbon neutral” by 2030.
At the same time, greenhouse gas emissions from existing buildings will be reduced by 20% over 2007 levels.

What is a Green Kitchen Renovation or a Green Building?
A Green Building is simply a building that was planned from conception to utilize all possible environmentally friendly construction and operation practices. It will also have been designed to remain sustainable throughout time.
A green kitchen renovation is constructed with the same ideas as a green building. Your kitchen will be redesigned so that everything in the kitchen is using environmentally safe goals and systems. The renovation of your old kitchen will get rid of anything toxic or dangerous and ensure everything in the kitchen is safe. Your kitchen will no longer emit toxins into the environment as every appliance in your kitchen which may emit gas or other toxic substances will be removed and replaced with environmentally friendly equipment.
What are the benefits of a Green Kitchen Renovation?
Conventional kitchens often use more resources than needed while a green kitchen is energy efficient. This will effectively save you money while it reduces your electricity and water bills.
Green Kitchen Benefits:
- Saves money in the long run
- Reduces the use of electricity
- Natural lighting
- Less use of water
- Elimination of toxic products and chemicals
- Better quality air
Green kitchen appliances are selected based on their energy saving capabilities. Furthermore, a green kitchen is designed to use more natural lighting with reflective windows to maximize sunlight. With both of these innovations, you will be using less electricity.
But there is more, green kitchens are designed to better circulate natural air so you and your family will be able to breathe better while in your kitchen.
Green kitchens also allow for better air flow and circulation in your kitchen which means you will have more oxygen even when exposing yourself to toxic chemicals such as from cleaning products.
Your Health Benefits from a Green Kitchen
There are many health benefits to renovating your conventional kitchen to a green kitchen. For one thing, while working in a well ventilated and open kitchen space your well being and mental health will improve.
A study performed by United Technologies found that those working and living in environments created through “green” practices were 61% more likely to outperform those working in conventional environments.
The kitchen is the heart and center of your home, you and your family are likely to spend the most amount of time there. You need your kitchen to be a space of health and wealth, where you can grow and be the best version of yourself.
When you think about it, it’s just plain common sense. You spend the most amount of time in the kitchen and yet your kitchen is full of toxic products that waste precious resources. Imagine how much better your life could be if your kitchen was actually a positive space that improved your mental wellbeing, sense of wellness and productivity.
