Energy efficiency.
Our natural resources are becoming more precious. Home owners are starting to realize to live in a healthy environment takes decisions in what we put in our homes. More and more, energy codes are obsessed with energy use, encouraging well insulated closed boxes holding in toxic off-gassing instead of focusing on a breathing house where air is exchanged and thermal comfort is considered.
