We visit 10 eco homes to see how green building design is being using in a variety of ways. From Passivhaus buildings to Earthships, this video covers a rang...
Disaster Resilient Housing Design. Flood Resilient Architecture. Resilient Homes Design Challenge generates blue prints for low-cost, disaster-resilient and sustainable houses.
Great read. Sustainable homes are the future! I noticed that in the design block, a link to an awesome sustainable design site tool could be useful. I heard that Ecohome are adding one for renovations and one for new builds, can we access this anywhere yet?
Resilient Design for Climate Risk: Flood, Heat & Storm-Ready Residential Strategies. For decades, Indian residential development followed a standard template: maximise floor area, apply a contemporary faade, and rely on mechanical systems for comfort.
As Loftness explains, when we begin to design sustainability, we begin to design resilient homes. Resiliency is going to become increasingly important as storms and fires threaten how reliable our power is going to be.
As we can see from the illustration, Sustainable Apartment Resilient Design has many fascinating aspects to explore.
Passive House design techniques were pioneered on smaller, single-family residences. These homes have a relatively large wall area (and subsequently larger heat gain or loss) per square foot of enclosed living area. Multifamily residences have apartments that abut one another.
