Sustainable Housing - Acive Energy Systems

Sustainable Housing

Sustainability is now a much used word. The challenge for us all is to put the words into practice! Brendan and Vanessa believe it is vital the building industry and home buyer all consider how we can build and live in our homes in ways to improve our own wellbeing and that of our environment. They have found during their on and off site research that sustainability encompasses much more than energy efficiency. Key issues to consider are:

Passive Solar Design

Energy Efficiency

Water Conservation

Material Selection

Site Management

Reduce, Re-use, Recycle

Landscaping

Active Energy Systems

Community

Active Energy Systems

Wild Homes supports the use of alternative ‘green’ power systems such as grid connected solar power, stand alone solar systems and wind power generation. There are other exciting options for actively generating energy for our homes that are in varying stages of development both in Australia and overseas and Brendan and Vanessa are continuing to “keep their ears to the ground” and welcome input from interested parties.
