Escalante also uses sustainable materials for the house like the Concrete Masonry Unit that effectively prevent heat from entering the house. In addition, recycled materials are also used to complete this eco-home. The Greenbaum also has the water conservation system through its sustainable landscape that does not only act as the water collecting agent but also provides the home with a cool and fresh ambiance.

In addition, this eco-home also has the photovoltaic cells that collects solar energy and transforms it into a useful electricity. These solar panels are also the ones responsible in heating the swimming pool.
