“With the Australian population set to reach 30 million people by 2029, we’re going to need to construct an additional 197,000 homes each year.It is important for these residences to be sustainable, as Australian houses currently generate about 13 percent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. We need houses that consume less energy.As an added bonus, sustainable homes are less costly to maintain. People who live in sustainable houses save on energy bills; and if we facilitate the transition to sustainable housing, we can achieve more than half a billion dollars more investment in the construction business by 2030, and flood the market with an additional 7000 jobs.“

“Over the next decade we are likely to see a more central focus on more energy-efficient buildings. This is in response to concerns raised regarding reduced emissions and energy consumption, to lowering energy costs, as well as consumer and industry interest in sustainable housing. With a trajectory for low energy buildings agreed upon by COAG earlier in the year, increased energy efficiency provisions are set to accelerate over the next decade and beyond.”

AND, the absolute best base for an energy efficient house is to be designed by RC Building Design using Passive Solar Design principles. 

Not only do passive solar designed homes save you money in regards to their energy efficiency but, as this article describes...” An energy efficient home is a happier, healthier home. By and large, those who buy and reside in energy efficient homes live longer, healthier lives in houses that are more comfortable and economical in equal measure.”

And, as the article concludes...” We must build still more technologically sound and easy to update energy efficient homes; high performance homesteads that will enhance the health and comfort of Australians “

Let RC Building Design help you catch the “Wave of the Present”

Now, I am not saying that Passive Solar Design completed eradicates any mould issue but it goes a LONG way to minimizing any chance of it. After all natural sun and light are the enemies of mould ;^)

As hard as it may be for some to believe, the possibility of turning design plans into a fully built home are not too far into the future.

Just imagine your amazing Passive Solar Design from RC Building Design being built straight from the plans...

And, for the record, Russell, from RC Building Design, has already designed a home in Holland where the first 3D printed house will be completed soon. Unfortunately that was well before the advancement of 3D printers.

According to this article, “ By the 2020s, five- and six-star buildings must use 100 percent renewable electricity, have a low energy demand, and be sourcing their electricity from 100 percent renewables. And the use of fossil fuels will be discouraged at all cost.”

The best start for any building to “...have a low energy demand,” is using Passive Solar Design principles and the team at RC Building Design are passionate about helping you achieve the best design solution for your circumstances.
