Designing Sustainable Homes |
|
With factors such as climate change and drought becoming an everyday reality in Australia, new home buyers are now looking for housing design options which demonstrate increased energy efficiencies, and sustainable design practices.
As a builder or developer it is reassuring to know that there are range of simple, cost effective features which can be incorporated into housing design to meet this demand.
At Sustainable Concepts we have the knowledge and first hand industry experience to step you through this process.
Innovative developers are already leading the pack, creating homes and developments to meet the needs of the modern, resource conscious family. Fairfield Waters estate in Townsville drew on the expertise and experience offered by the Sustainable Concepts team to create a unique, sustainable, and commercially successful estate located in Queensland’s tropical north.
“Benefits available to consumers are homes that are energy,
water and resource efficient in both construction and use and
that offer a better quality of life. They are also more cost effective to
run and maintain, and are healthier to live in.
The home incorporates passive solar design techniques suited to the
tropics, and illustrates how to make the most of cooling breezes, while
keeping the heat out and letting daylight in. The home also showcases a
range of innovative products and features listed over the page.”
