Question

Is living in a Sustainable Home just as comfortable as living in a Ordinary home? Worse, better?

Answer 1

In the end its cheaper

and that is better

just as comfortable as you can make any home

Answer 2

It can be just as comfortable if not more so than any other home. You choose the mix of items that suit how you want to live. Research each item before you buy to learn what it is and what it is made of and if it can be recycled st the end of its use or just gets dumped in a land fill. If you favor items made from materials that can be recycled then you and the world are better off. By the way Styrofoam is one of the most recyclable plastics, but no community does it which is a crime because they are putting it in land fills instead.

Answer 3

A sustainable home is generally a healthier home. The use of low Voc paint is employed, as well as composite materials that will not "off gas" and put harmful chemicals into the air. The choice of building materials and energy sources is different, that's all. You can still be just as comfortable in a "green" home. Some "green" homes you wouldn't be able to discern a difference. Better for the health of the uccupants and the earth, but more expensive initially.
