How To Green Your Plumbing | VLOG 012

The first unique green element of our home is how we are setting up the plumbing to save water and energy. Each hot water fixture has its own water line directly from the water heater. This is more efficient because it only sends heated water to the fixture that is demanding it. 

Most hot water lines snake around to multiple different fixtures. These lines hold a lot of volume and to get hot water to the furthest faucet, they have to fill the whole line. Once the faucet is turned off, the whole line filled with hot water, then cools, wasting energy. Water is also wasted, running the eater to get heated water to the tap.
