SITING OFBUILDINGS:

CONDITIONS ON SLOPING SITES:

gradients less than 1:8

Owners are advised to liaise with their neighbours when planning their homes.The positioning of your building/s should not unreasonably affect theamenities of nearby properties. For example, servants' quarters, service yardsand entertainment areas should be sensitively positioned and your neighbour'sprivacy respected. A new building shall take in consideration the existingadjacent building and shall be designed to complement them. The Developer'sdecision in this regard will be binding on all parties concerned.

Units designed for level erven cannot be used for sloping sites, as it would be aninappropriate environmental response, requiring expensive site works andpossibly unsightly retaining structures and embankments.

Large scale cut and fill will be seen as unsympathetic and will not be allowed.Cut and fill must be minimized as far as possible.

The sites are not to be reshaped in order to deal with the slopes.The following measures will ensure that visual impacts associated withbuildings on steep slopes with will be minimized:

Retaining structures are to be limited to max 1.5m in height. If greaterheight is required, a second retaining structure can be provided. Thesecond retaining structure must at least be set back 1.5m from theprevious one

It is important that the step be landscaped to reduce overall perceivedheight.

Slope Planting

Plant materials should be selected for their effectiveness of erosioncontrol, drought tolerance and visual blending.

Through this guideline we will encourage all clients and developers to use the following aspects that willenhance sustainable building design:

The following aspects must be considered in the design development stage.

During the planning stages, make sure that the spaces are designed to avoid any waste inaccommodation and energy.Source local materials, knowledge and skills, this will result in reduction oftransport costs and promote the development of local economies.

Use standard building material sizes, this will reduce waste and transport costs to remove wastematerials.Indigenous planting are encouraged to suite the local climate conditions.

Avoid using any toxic material and those with high level of embodied energy

Water saving appliances must be used in the overall design, dual-flush toilets, low-flow showerheadsand tap aerators are inexpensive and save huge amounts of water.Make sure that during construction, the windows and doors are sealed properly, this will enhance theconditions in rooms and spaces.It is important that non-toxic insulation materials must be used, such as organic fibre chip, recyclingpaper and possibly polyester.Appoint professional consultants that is familiar with the technology and practice of sustainablebuilding.

During the design stage of the house, ensure that it blends in with the natural and cultural environment. Use thenatural environment during the planning stages of the design.

Compact Fluorescent lights and Lighting Emitting Diodes must be used for light wherever possible. These arecost-effective and comes in different range of shapes and sizes.

It is encouraged that rainwater collection tanks be incorporated in the design. These must be placed in such waythat it does not reduce the aesthetical appearance of the design. Rainwater could be used to top-up swimmingpools, this is cost-effective and economically viable.

Grey-water is the water from showers, baths, basins and laundries. This water can be captured before it flowsinto the municipal sewer system. Black water is the water from toilets and cannot be re-used. directly.

Grey water is suitable for irrigation purposes.When planning a grey-water system, the Architect must consult a qualified technician about installingthe system before the plans are finalized in order to accommodate such system.It is of utmost importance that these be installed during the construction stage, this will be the mostcost-efficient.With the use of a bio-filter, cleaning products must be environmentally friendly, this will not harm thebiological organisms.

The use of passive solar design will reduce energy consumption, thus avoid the use of extra air conditioningand heating equipment.

North orientation is of utmost importance, this will enhance sun-control in the design.Good insulation in the roof and walls to keep the temperature warm in winter and cool in summer.Suitable roof overhangs to let in lower winter sun, but provide shading for hot-summer sun.Sensible fenestration must bu used in the design stage. Shutters, screens, awnings can be used tocontrol sun light.The use of natural lighting is important.

The installation of solar heaters are relatively expensive, but result in substantial savings on electricity bills.

We bring you the latest information for heating and cooling, insulation, lighting, appliances, landscaping, andrenewable energy to power your home. Some of the tips are easy enough to do, while others may require moreeffort and investment, but promise big savings over the years.

Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.Consider buying a laptop for your nextcomputer upgrade; they use much less energy than desktop computers.

Don't over-dry your clothes. If your machine has a moisture sensor, use it.

Dry towels and heavier cottons in a separate load from lighter-weight clothes.

To maximize savings with a laptop, put the AC adapter on a power strip that can be turned off; thetransformer in the AC adapter draws power continuously, even when the laptop is not plugged into theadapter.

Turn off your computer and monitor when not in use.

Wash and dry full loads. If you are washing a small load, use the appropriate water-level setting.

A well-designed landscape not only can add beauty to your home but it also can reduce your heating andcooling costs. On average, landscaping for energy efficiency provides enough energy savings to return aninitial investment in less than 8 years. If you were already planning to landscape, these tips provide an idealway to beautify your home while saving on your monthly energy bill.

Plant trees to shade your home, reducing your cooling costs in the summer months.

Typically, newly planted trees will begin shading windows in their first year and will reach your roofin years 5-10.

Planting shrubs, bushes, and vines next to your house creates dead air spaces that insulate your homein both winter and summer.

Plant so there will be at least 30 centimeters of space between full-grown plants and your home's wall.

4. Water Heating and Saving

The quantity and quality of light around us determine how well we see, work, and play. Light affects our health,safety, morale, comfort, and productivity. In your home, you can save energy while still maintaining good lightquantity and quality.

Use outdoor lights with a photocell unit or a motion sensor so they will turn on only at night or whensomeone is present.

A combined photocell and motion sensor will increase your energy savings even more.

Take advantage of daylight by using light-colored, loose weave curtains on your windows to allowdaylight to penetrate the room while preserving privacy.

Also, decorate with lighter colors that reflect daylight.

Use task lighting; instead of brightly lighting an entire room, focus the light where you need it. Forexample, use fluorescent under-cabinet lighting for kitchen sinks and countertops under cabinets.

Turn off lights in any room you're not using, or consider installing timers, photo cells, or occupancysensors to reduce the amount of time your lights are on.

Install task lighting – such as under-counter kitchen lights or bathroom mirror lights – to reduce theneed for ambient lighting of large spaces.

Use dimmers, motion sensors, or occupancy sensors to automatically turn on or off lighting as neededand prevent energy waste.

Consider light wall colors to minimize the need for artificial lighting.

During winter, open curtains on your north-facing windows during the day to allow sunlight tonaturally heat your home, and close them at night to reduce the chill you may feel from cold windows.

Water heating can account for 14%-25% of the energy consumed in your home. You can reduce your monthlywater heating bills by selecting the appropriate water heater for your home or pool and by using some energy-efficient water heating strategies.

Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.

Take short showers instead of baths.

Lower the thermostat on your hot water heater.

Insulate your electric hot-water storage tank, but be careful not to cover the thermostat. Follow themanufacturer's recommendations.

Take more showers than baths. Bathing uses the most hot water in the average household.

Install aerating, low-flow faucets and showerheads.

Insulate your hot water pipes, which will reduce heat loss and can raise water temperature.

If heating a swimming pool, consider a swimming pool cover. Evaporation is by far the largest sourceof energy loss in swimming pools.

Install due flush toilet systems.

Provide in design rainwater storage tanks as well as grey water recycling systems.

You can reduce your home's heating and cooling costs by as much as 30 percent through proper insulation andair sealing techniques. These techniques will also make your home more comfortable. Reducing your homeheating and cooling bills begins with conducting a home energy audit to assess where your home may be losingenergy through air leaks or inadequate insulation.

Remember that new windows must be installed correctly to avoid air leaks around the frame. Look for areputable, qualified installer.

In temperature climates with both heating and cooling seasons, select windows with both low U-valuesand low solar heat gain coefficiency to maximize energy benefits.

Installing new, high-performance windows will improve your home's energy performance.

While it may take many years for new windows to pay off in energy savings, the benefits of addedcomfort and improved aesthetics and functionality may make the investment worth it to you.

Apply sun-control or other reflective films on north-facing windows to reduce solar gain.

Adequate insulation in your attic, ceilings, exterior and basement walls, floors, and crawlspaces, asrecommended for your geographical area, can save you up to 30 percent on home energy bills.

Close fireplace dampers when not in use. A chimney is designed for smoke to escape, so until you closeit, warm air escapes.
