Designed completely to harness the winter sun and block the summer sun. (Passive Heating & Cooling techniques)
Double brick construction with air cell lining in the cavity. (Control of Long & Short wave radiation)
We cross ventilated the whole home with mechanical adjustable louvres.
External venetians we used to control the summer heat from penetrating the shopfront glass and to provide privacy.
We used 1.2 kilowatts of photovoltaic cells to illuminate the whole dwelling and to run the pool.(Reduced electricity bill by 40%).
The huge 13.6 x 2.4 metre sliding doors were fitted with low emission double glazing to prevent the internal heat gains (long wave radiation) being lost during winter.
The maximum star rating for a home in NSW is 5 stars. We achieved 7.0 stars.
The 35000 litre underground concrete rainwater tank is used to water the garden beds, a cold water line is fed to the washing machine and toilet cisterns.
