2-PASSIVE DESIGN FEATURES
ORIENTATION INSULATION
 An unassertive design is
necessary due to the relief it
supplied to 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.
 Insulation plays an important
part to create quiet and
pleasant environment.
 In my house, the exterior walls
Single Brick Veneer Walls
(CIVE 1155) and they are
insulated with Pink Batts.
 The interior walls of the
theatre room are insulated with
Acoustisorb1 50mm
120cmx10m.

 Basic concern is to give a solid living condition for
every one of the inhabitants thus we design our
working for ideal sunlight.
 Through this, we advance regular ventilation and
make life alright with the negligible utilization of
mechanical warming and cooling.
3- Indoor Environment Quality

 Positioning of the house confronting north has
expanded sun-powered picks up in winter.
 The situating of windows assumes a noteworthy part
of warm maintenance and fascination.
 Choosing the materials for dividers, floors, roofs and
rooftop was to put resources into materials which
give the protection.
Operational Energy protection procedures

ENERGY CONSUMPTION WATER RESOURCES
- Sun based boards have been
situated on the north-bound
rooftop pitched at 37 degrees.
- Photovoltaic frameworks can
control the house and input the
abundance of 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.
 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 fulfilment,
and essentialness creation.

 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)
PORTABLE WATER CONSERVATION
Average water usage

 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.
 Developments will affect and make an impact on the
environment and change the natural water cycle.
Rain Water Tank
 Water can be gathered by using the rooftop space as a catchment
territory and steering the water into a water tank.
 As per the rooftop design, accepting 60% of rooftop territory to
catch rain water.
 The aggregate rooftop zone is 201.31m2 and catchment territory
is 120.79m2
 The volume of yearly rainwater which is caught by the rooftop is
 Annual rainfall x catchment territory x coefficient of spill over.
Storm Water Management

 The funnelling from the clothing, lavatory and unsuited will be
associated with a water tank living close to the clothing.
 Connected to this is a sanitization load put underneath the
surface of the ground, water is then steered by means of
channels to a capacity tank which will then give water to the
garden.
 Albeit dim water can be utilized inside for toilets and clothing,
forgoing doing as such as my water tank is presently addressing
a fourth of the need.
Grey water recycling tank:

 Diminish indoor water use by picking water beneficial
showers, toilets, taps and mechanical assemblies.
 Minimize outdoors water use by picking plants that are
fitting for neighbourhood creating conditions and by
including low water use runs in the garden diagram
utilizing indigenous plants or low water use species.
 Minimize clearing of outside domains as this assembles
warm radiation and water flood from the site.
 Wash cars and bikes in the yard to water grass meanwhile.
 Clearways and drives rather than hosing them down.
Six approaches to minimize water utilize:

 The national Water Efficiency Labelling and Standards (WELS)
conspire gives customers data about the water proficiency of items.
 The WELS conspire requires certain items sold anyplace in
Australia to be enlisted, appraised and named for their water
proficiency as per AS/NZS 6400:2005, Water effective items:
rating and marking.
Installing Water Meter to save water and resources:
 A meter measures the water each house utilizes, so they pay
for what they utilize. It can likewise spare water - numerous
individuals endeavour to utilize less water once they have a
meter fitted and this implies an advantage for both their
pocket and the earth.
 Utilizing less water implies less water should be warmed.
 This can save money on your vitality charges and decrease
carbon impression.
The WELS product rating system:

 When planning seepage pipelines, the outline is stretched out
to cross any street or proposed street augmenting that is
contiguous the advancement.
 Development and support necessities are especially essential
contemplations when planning channel or conduit works.
Important contemplations include:
1-The most extreme incline and stature of the grassed hitters.
2- Whether trucks expect access to the channel modifies.
3- The area of bays and streets.
4-Ground conditions.
5-The separate from the proposed arrangement to any current
administrations (especially if there are any issues with side
stacking impacts amid exhuming).
Storm Water Management:

 Around 21 million tons of building and obliteration abuse
was made in Australia.
 Around 8 million tons (36%) went to landfill while around
12.9 million tons (65%) was reused.
 Confining and reusing this waste can have basic social,
money related and natural purposes of premium.
 The techniques set expansive fixations for squander
diminishment, See for instance Victoria's Sustainability,
everything considered — towards zero waste method or
South Australia's Waste Strategy 2015– 2020.
 The three Rs of waste minimization: reduce, reuse, and
recycle.
Waste management:

 Life cycle evaluation of waste streams demonstrates that
basic imperativeness venture assets can be refined at
basically zero cost by considered improvement and
obliteration misuse organization and masterminded
reusing.
 Materials with high encapsulated vitality (e.g. metals,
particularly aluminium) or with high characteristic cost in
extraction can have their life cycle impact decreased by
end utilize reusing.
 The common effect of most materials can be basically
decreased with each reuse.
Life cycle and waste:

 Green rooftops associated dividers are
an awful approach to upgrade the neighbourhood
urban biology moreover on enhancing the protection
of a building.
 This may keep inner areas hotter in winter and cooler
in summer.
 This can be attributable to the broad utilization of
materials, as an example, cement and hydro carbon
that hold heat.
 There are three sorts of green rooftops: Intensive
rooftops, Extensive rooftops and Green veneers.
