Did you know that one year of demolition debris from demolished homes is enough to build a wall around the entire border of the continental United States? Well, it’s true. Just the same, when deciding to rebuild, it is the little things that add up; like the savings from using modern materials.

However, modern multi-pane windows reflect the air back into the room without escaping through the windows allowing for a much more efficient heating and cooling system. The infographic below, presented by Blu Homes, discusses this and other advantages to rebuilding and even renovating.
