The Sustainable Mandurah Home

In January my wife visited the Sustainable Mandurah Home. It demonstrates several features of sustainable home design. These include:
  • passive-solar design: orientation, glazing, shading, solar louvres, insulation and eco-vents
  • energy-efficiency: photo-voltaic cells, gas-boosted solar hot-water system, low-energy appliances
  • water-efficiency: water-wise landscaping, grey-water re-use, storm-water capture, water-efficient appliances, AAA-rated taps and shower-heads
  • materials & furnishings: thermal mass, materials sourced from renewable resources, low-allergenic and low-toxicity materials
  • waste: recycling containers, composting facilities
The home was designed by Solar Dwellings and was built by project-home builder by Ultimate Homes (Peter Stannard).
