Short description :Welcome to The Green House EBook! I wrote this ebook with the purpose of informing, preparing and guiding anyone considering adding a green house to their landscape.
The main focus is on planning – everything from the plants to furniture, materials, location and simple carpentry. The more planning you do on this project, the easier it will be to complete it! For the actual blueprints and building plans, you will need to consult your local hardware store or one of the good books out there on Green Houses and I will list a couple of my favorites in context within the book
Green House EBook
The Barratt Green House
Short description :The Barratt Green House is a three/four bedroom family home designed to provide a solution to the needs of low energy, high density volume housing of the future.
As one of the lowest emission houses currently being constructed in this country, it combines outstanding design, the highest standards of energy efficiency and the use of innovative
microgeneration.
Barratt is committed to innovation and continuous product development, coupled with the highest standard of design, construction quality and customer service. We bring the same values to the construction and development of the Barratt Green House and are confident it will make an important contribution to house building in the UK in the run up to 2016.
Building this home has provided us with invaluable insights into how zero carbon homes can be constructed and is giving us the opportunity to evaluate specific materials and technologies for future developments. The ultimate aim of this project is to learn how to design and construct a truly sustainable building that can be rolled out as a real home for the future – we plan to take the most successful aspects of the Barratt Green House design and apply them to homes we build in future
Energy Efficient House Design for Tropical Queensland
Short description :This report summarises the outcomes of a workshop on Energy Efficient House Design in Tropical Queensland, held on 24 February 2005 at the Southbank Hotel and Convention Centre, Townsville. Thirty-seven people attended the workshop. A list of participants is attached (Appendix 1).
The aim of the workshop was to develop a better understanding of appropriate building
design for tropical environments. Objectives included:
• To achieve a better understanding of stakeholder issues;
• To examine key issues to be resolved;
• To develop strategies for addressing areas of contention; and
• To provide input into changes to the BCA which propose to increase the stringency of energy efficient housing from the current 3.5 stars to 5 stars
