How did the designers of this home
incorporate sustainable design
principles into their concept/plan?
Getting the sun in the room in winter and no sun
during summer.
Using hard tiles because if there is dust you can see
it and you can vacuum it up.
Thermal analysis , window positioning.
The water and solar heating use the earth’s natural
cycle ( low heat and water bills)Solar hot water
system provides up to 80% of hot water a year.

Why I chose this design
For my building which is the Discovery Centre in Wentworth Point. I have discussed with my group that we would all have a white door as is symbolizes sophistication, a water tank and a solar panel. We also share the same wood on the out side of the house. My building is a environmentally friendly and it can also access healthier resources. My building also has a lost of natural lighting and air ventilation, instead on having to turn on the lights and instead of having to put the air conditioning on you have natural air flowing through ,this decreases the use electricity. The discovery centre has a lot of information on how we can keep our town clean and eco friendly. It also has a lot of trees and greenery to calm the mind. The discovery centre has a lot about the history and how much it has changed over the years.
I have chosen this for my design for my building has it has plenty of outside area for the community, and to enjoy has many resources as possible. For example a lot of people live in apartments so there's not much air ventilation so we give them help by saying to open there windows and have natural sunlight in there homes so they don’t use has much electricity has they normally would. I have also made this building so that it is sustainable and that in the future it would benefit the community.
