What is eco-bling?

Eco-bling refers to attempts to green an old building, by retrofitting it with solar panels and insulation to keep up with today’s zero-carbon standards. But most times these extra fittings fail to serve their purpose as the building is basically not eco-friendly. Effective green elements usually need to be introduced at the planning stage. In an eco-bling scenario, green efforts cost more to install than the energy and money they are meant to save.
