Please provide an outline of what ecologically sustainable design features have been included and implemented *
For example a passive solar design, liveable housing design, orientation, ventilation, thermal mass, small footprint, good use of space or a thermal performance assessment rating.
Please describe how sustainable building materials were incorporated into the design
For example using low environmental impact building materials, high efficiency glazing, shading, insulation, draft roofing, low volatile organic compound in paints and/or flooring and other building materials, recycled content.
Please describe measures to reduce energy demand
For example a thermal performance assessment rating, heating and cooling efficiency, hot water system, lighting type, clothes drying facilities or renewable energy.
Please describe measures to reduce potable water consumption
For example water efficient appliances and fittings (if possible note WELS rating), rainwater collection and use, alternative water supply/reuse (e.g. grey water treatment) or landscape irrigation.
Please describe any ecologically sustainable design features of the garden
For example drought tolerant plants or veggie patch.
Was sustainable transport considered in the design? If so, please describe.
For example bike storage, car share or electric vehicle charge point.
Please describe any waste management systems that have been incorporated into the design
For example onsite organic waste treatment (worm farm, compost heap) or recycling facilities built in (waste separation in kitchen area).
Are there any other ecologically sustainable design features that you would like to highlight? Please detail below.
For example sustainable furnishings, storm water management or environmentally sustainable construction that has minimised waste.
Is there a particular feature that demonstrates innovation in sustainable design, minimises energy or water use or other feature that is unique and contributes to ecologically sustainable design principles? Describe the innovation in the project.
Has any information of the ecologically sustainable design features of this property been shared with others? If so, where and how?
For example a blog, social media or sustainable house day.
