On Greenovate, Ryan Flegal converts a 2,300 square foot factory into his home and office space. Creating a dual function dwelling is not only smart, it's also ecologically friendly. Here are just a few of the green advantages to working from home.
- Centralization of materials: Since most people do a certain amount of work from home anyway, there is a need for duplicate equipment in the home and office. Having a permanent home workstation means you'll only need one computer, one printer and one set of custom designed pens.
- Reduction of transportation pollution: When your commute is reduced to moving from the bedroom to the living room, you eliminate the need for cranking up your car.
- More efficient use of space: Using one space for multiple purposes helps minimize overdevelopment. People can enjoy the wooded area or small park without the fear that one day it will be an office complex. When we maximize space, we minimize waste.
