Building a Sustainable Kitchen

Eating by candlelight may be romantic, but in a working kitchen, adequate and efficient lighting is an absolute necessity. There are many options to improve kitchen visibility while actually saving money on utility charges.
Fluorescent lighting—which has become far more visually pleasing in recent years—may initially cost a bit more than incandescent lighting, but its efficiency and wattage demands reduce the amount of energy needed to light your kitchen while actually increasing the available light. Because this type of lighting lasts longer, you’ll save maintenance time changing light bulbs, too. In a short time, today’s fluorescent lighting pays for itself.
