With more people, not only in Australia but around the world becoming aware of our negative impact on the environment change is coming fast.
- There are increasing responsibilities for governments and businesses on a global stage
- Governments are changing legislations
- Businesses are making changes
- People may soon be responsible for their individual carbon footprint
- Green build homes are no longer a dream of hippies
If you are building a new home, now is the time to make a difference and to be sure your new home is built to emit a low carbon footprint.
Making this choice now not only lessens the impact you have on the environment, it also saves your hip pocket.
Green built homes are solar passive in their design. They reduce heating and cooling costs, use less resources and save you money.
Alternative Living’s solar passive home designs encourage:
- the sun’s natural light to comfortably heat and cool your home
- cross ventilation though design layout and positioning
- a naturally occurring comfortable living space through the use of a thermal mass in the slab of our home designs; reducing extremes in temperature
- Use compact fluorescent lighting through our entire range of eco-friendly homes, using a staggering 1/5th of the electricity of normal lighting.
