Green realty in Montenegro - property market in pace with the times

First of all, we should define what green real estate is. Even though it might sound simple, this term encompasses much more criteria than it seems. There is no agreed opinion on the definition. However, in the most broader sense, green realities are the one that holds to reach climate and environmental sustainability targets.

Therefore, the sustainable or green building implies numerous features such as:

• Efficient use of resources in the building process and home
• Use of materials that are considered sustainable
• Pollution and waste reduction measures, and the possibility to recycle
• Satisfying air quality and a generally healthy environment
• Consideration of the quality of life of residents

This list of features can include a lot more characteristics and details. It is important to have in mind that rarely any building fulfills every demand from the list. That means that the property can meet only a few requirements from the above, and still qualify as green real estate.

The approach to sustainable building can also differ depending on regions and parts of the world. The architecture depends on environmental and climatic conditions in many ways. There should be no surprise that countries from different parts of the world have unique needs and approaches to sustainability. 

For example, the most industrialized parts of the planet will probably shift their focus to air quality. On the other hand, in the warmer parts of the world, the primary environmental goal could be focused on cooling and afforestation of the surrounding. 

Not only investors seek green realties. People are more and more interested in environmental issues, and therefore they are changing their purchasing habits and lifestyle. For example, the recycling rate has increased from less than 7 percent in 1960 to the current rate of 32 percent. 

There is also a growing zero-waste community and general interest in a sustainable lifestyle. This is reflected in the property market also. Combined with the coronavirus pandemic, there have been noticed changing trends in the real estate market, such as – the higher demand for open spaces and natural surroundings. 

However, it seems that care for the environment is not the only motivation for choosing green real estate. The higher quality of life has been recognized on several levels among the green home’s residents. 

Sustainable materials, building design, and renewable sources of energy are undoubtedly important. The benefits for the planet are obvious, but we should not forget to mention the positive impact that green homes can have on the quality of people’s life. 

And the benefits are numerous.

We have already mentioned that a definition of green real estate is flexible. For example, the home interior with high levels of natural daylight can also be considered sustainable. When there is natural light during the better part of the day, there is less need for artificial lighting.

Natural ventilation through windows brings fresh air inside the space, so there is no or there reduced need for ventilation and air conditioning. All of the above directly reduces the utilization of electric energy, but what’s more important – has a positive impact on humans’ quality of life.

Fresh air and natural sunlight are important for our health and play an important role in overall well-being. The second example is the location and surroundings. It is obvious that preserving natural treasures such as woods and fields is important for the environment, but it is also very important to our mental health.

There are serious research studies that show that time spent in nature can have a positive impact on our mental health. For example, there are several forest therapy programs designed to decrease the level of depression among adults. To conclude – by changing our lifestyle towards sustainability, we help our health in so many ways.
