According to data from a recent study conducted by the University of Technology Sydney Online, over 72% of U.S. homeowners now prioritize comfort and energy efficiency when renovating their spaces over resale value and aesthetics, the focus on home renovation pre-pandemic.
“Comfort and efficiency are no longer competing ideas. In fact, they complement each other more than ever. Today’s homeowners want a space that reflects their identity while supporting wellness and sustainability,” says a spokesperson from the University of Technology Sydney Online.
