BRIEF

-Passive Solar. Double height sunspace at core. The house is orientated to allow sunlight and warmth to penetrate the plan but structural elements such as a large eaves and cantilevered deck provide shading from any excessive summer sun.

-Double glazing is provided throughout

-insulated plaster cladding system

-Solar water heating

-heat pump works as back up when the sun drops.

-CFL lighting

-Pink Batts Ultra throughout for best insulation R values, enviromark approved

-Recycled plastic hybrideck

-Low VOC paints



*A 6.5 HERS energy star rating has been achieved for energy efficiency*
