Free PDF Ebooks Energy Efficient House Design for Tropical Queensland
This Free PDF Ebooks 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.
Feedback from participants suggests that the workshop successfully achieved the first two of these objectives. This report provides information to contribute to the achievement of the latter two objectives. It should be noted that the report focuses upon areas of contention and does not deal in detail with areas where there is general agreement (e.g. building orientation).
