Hints for Successful Liveable-In Green Architecture:
1. Form, orientation and simplicity of response, as well as employment of inexpensive and readily available parts.
2.Insulants, in whatever form, should try and perform to required standards. Cold bridging is to be avoided where possible.
3. Exploite solar gains and consider how they might be retained.
4. Have a clear strategy with regard to ventilation. Decisions to build airtight or breathable spaces should be backed up eitherway.
5. Heat sources and storage systems must try to maintan balanced temperature levels.
6. Energy saving appliances are vital. An inventory of relevent and available items will be added shortly to this page.
