Climate-responsive house design with concrete
This publication covers the role of concrete in climate-responsive house design for each of Australia's climate zones. It provides a resource to designers for the development of a design solution for a particular climate type, including the choice of materials, effective passive design for solar control and ventilation. Most importantly, through detailed analysis it provides a strategic approach to sustainable design by identifying the biggest impacts and outlining design responses. This reduces the complexity of sustainable design objectives and highlights the issues that must be addressed to move towards sustainable residential building.
