Sustainable Housing looks at utilising natural resources and energy to minimalise or eliminate the reliance on electricity, water, gas, etc from Utilities Companies.
Sustainable housing will:
- harvest rainwater
- treat sewerage
- generate its own power
- use resources and materials that are renewable and/or recyclable
- create electricity from the sun
- reduce your power bill, or export power back into the grid where you receive credits from the power companies
- add value to your home
- create green, clean electricity minimising your carbon emissions
- educate others by leading by example
