Homes should be designed to minimize the impact on the environment, particularly by l imiting the overall energy and water consumption for the household. All homes are required to achieve the minimum legislative energy efficiency requirements. Consideration should be given to other methods which may assist to further decrease the energy consumption of your home.

Consideration of the following principals is encouraged:

• Design to take advantage of passive solar

heating and cooling by maximizing north facing walls and glazing & providing reasonable shading of north facing windows

• Minimize east and west (in particular) orientated glazing

• Incorporate eaves to the roof design

• Orientate your home to catch prevailing breezes and take advantage of cross ventilation (including internal doors)

• Consider landscaping to provide shade

• Zoning of areas within the home so heating and cooling is provided only when required
