2.3 Dwelling Type:
This house attains dwelling type as a separate house. Separate houses are
normally larger and have more bedrooms than other dwelling types.
Usually, separate houses have three or four bedrooms but semi-detached
houses have two or three bedrooms. Flats, units or apartments have one
or two bedrooms.
2.4 Construction Material:
This house has been constructed using timber as the structure, Steel,
Cement, Aggregates, sand and various concrete materials have been used
for the foundation and footing whereas cement and aggregates have been
used for the flooring of the house.
3. Passive design features:
3.1 Orientation:
An unassertive design is necessary due to the relief it supplied the
occupants from relying heavily on mechanical heating and cooling. This is
attained by taking advantage of the natural climate to maintain thermal
comfort. Solar panels give hand to provide electricity to the house and
also save on water heating costs. Positioning the house facing north
provide maximum efficiency to solar panels.
Page 7

3.2 Overhang and shading
The overhangs (eaves) of 600mm and the shading of the house is
designed to allow maximum sunlight to enter the house under the eaves
to produce more heat and light inside the house during winter and to
allow minimum sunlight to enter during summer to keep the inside of the
house cooler. This is simply achieved on north facing walls by including
many larger glass windows so that maximum sunlight can be absorbed in
winter.
3.3 Insulation
Is essential to have quiet and pleasant environment inside the house.
When creating such an environment insulation plays an important part.
In my house the exterior walls Single Brick Veneer Walls (CIVE 1155)
and they are insulated with Pink Batts
R1.5 430mm Wall Insulation Batts. The interior walls of the theatre room
are insulated with Acoustisorb 150mm 120cmx10m.
4. Embodied Energy and Carbon the lifecycle of a building:
In conclusion, it is vital to consolidate the above learning with the life
cycle assessment, which looks at the aggregate natural effect of a
material through each progression of its life. My plan will mean to diminish
its effect on nature through utilizing greener (recycled) materials
wherever conceivable.

5.Indoor Environment Quality:
Basic concern cantered here is that we make a solid living condition for
every one of the inhabitants thus we design our working for ideal
sunlight get to. Through this, we advance regular ventilation and make
life alright with the negligible utilization of mechanical warming and
cooling.
5.1 Factors considered for High indoor environment quality.
6. Operational Energy protection procedures:
Operational vitality is the vitality prerequisite of the working amid it's
from authorizing to obliterating. As an occurrence, the vitality used to
Page 9

warmth and cool the premises, run machine, warm water and light
rooms.
i. Positioning of the house confronting north has expanded sun-
powered picks up in winter:
The north locale of the home suits an extensive family room which is
thought to be involved more often than not. The eating and kitchen
territory situated in the south which enabling light to go down into the
feasting and kitchen region.
ii. The situating of windows assumes a noteworthy part in warm
maintenance and fascination:
Their introduction combined with their size will help keep the home at
an agreeable temperature. As outlined in the floor design a significant
number of the windows on the north side are substantial permitting a
lot of light and warmth in winter. The measure of windows on the south
side is less and littler because of the level of daylight passing.
iii. The principle Aim:
The choosing of the materials for dividers, floors, roofs and rooftop was
to put resources into materials which give the most protection. This will
help maintain a strategic distance from extraordinary varieties in
temperatures and will dodge undesirable warmth misfortune and pick
up.
7. Energy Consumption:
It is an indispensable segment of our regular daily existences. To assist
with this, sun based boards have been situated on the north-bound
rooftop pitched at 37 degree.
These chose photovoltaic frameworks can control the house and input
the abundance power into the national lattice. These sun powered
boards likewise fill another need and that is to warm water, an inactive
framework in which the tank is put over the sun based authority will
give a shabby other option to directing warmed water into the home.
Page 10

To complete off this maintainable advancement, 2 water tanks have
been arranged close to the clothing.
7.1 Water Resources:
 Improvement of water assets is an irrefutably basic factor in a
financial and social progression of social requests all around.
 Water deficiency can limit the national and social change of social
requests everywhere, while uncontrolled surplus water (flooding)
can execute outrageous financial and social hardships.
 The sum and nature of water open to people wherever are one of
the fundamental components influencing individual fulfillment, and
essentialness creation.
8. Portable Water Conservation/ Recycling:
8.1. Average Water Usage:
Upon assumption, water usage per person is 225 L/day.
Therefore 4 occupants will use (225 x 4= 900 L/day).
Water consumption in a year will be (900 x 365= 328.5 L/day)
Toilet 10% 32.85 kL/year
Showers and Bath 35% 114.97 kL/year
Laundry 15% 49.28 kL/year
Kitchen 9% 29.57 kL/year
Gardening 31% 101.83 kL/year
The water will be utilized for latrine and laundry= 32.85+49.28= 82.13
kilo/year or 225 L/day. The level of preservation of compact water through
the water tank is 25%.

9. Storm Water Management:
Rainwater is absorbed and soaked into the ground and then it evaporates
from the surface taken up by plants or finding its way slowly into rivers or
streams. Any development will affect and make an impact on the
environment and change the natural water cycle.
9.1. Rain Water Tank:
Water can be gathered by using the rooftop space as a catchment
territory and steering the water into a water tank. Rainwater can be
utilized as a part of the can, clothing and planting purposes. As per the
rooftop design, accepting 60% of rooftop territory to catch rainwater. The
aggregate rooftop zone is 201.31m2 and catchment territory is 120.79m2.
The volume of yearly rain water which is caught by the rooftop is Annual
rainfall x catchment territory x coefficient of spill over.
Coefficient of overflow (is 10% of water lost because of dissipation and
other factor) =120.79m2 x 0.65m/year x 90% =70.66 kL/year or
116.16L/day.
