Schedule 6 – Sustainable Building Design Policy. In minimising
energy consumption and the production of greenhouse gas
emissions across the life of the structure, the building
incorporates the following:
(i) Careful building orientation as to ensure that
windows and doors maximise breezes and cross
ventilation, providing a natural cooling to the
building.
(ii) Awnings to shade internal rooms during the summer
ü months, whilst allowing the sun to enter during
winter months, providing a natural warmth to the
spaces.
(iii) Solar panels will be accommodated on the roof to
allow for non-polluting, renewable energy sources
to contribute to the development’s energy needs.
Whirly birds on the roof also aid in regulating the
internal building temperature.
(iv) An array of building materials will be used to capture
and reflect heat. Materials used in the building
design include aluminium timber battens, various
colours of cladding, and light Colourbond roofing.
