Energy efficient home tips
Orientation
Living areas and rooms you spend lots of time in should be north-facing to catch sun and light for the longest part of the day.
Bedrooms should be positioned on the southern side so they are cooler and more pleasant to sleep in at night.
Eaves
Eaves over north-facing windows can keep unwanted sun out in summer and let the sun’s warmth in during winter.
Living areas
Although open plan designs are popular, they can be difficult and expensive to heat and cool, and can be quite noisy. So make living areas more enclosed to keep heating and cooling costs down.
