A presentation of my case study for Sustainable Development

1. CASE STUDY: THE CAPE
PATERSON HOME –
AUSTRALIA.
CLIMATE IN AUSTRALIA :
Experiences different types of climate being a large
continent with the tropical north experiencing wet and
dry season. Summer runs from December to March
Autum from March to may, winter from June to August
and spring from September to November.

2.  Australia’s approach to
climate change is driven by
their objective to cut real
world emissions and reach net
net zero emissions and have
the carbon foot print of their
investment portfolios by
2030. Efforts already in
thermal coal transition.

3.  Australia’s approach to energy
efficiency
encouraging efficient use of
natural resources- land,
energy and water- and the re-
use and/or recovery of wastes
through measures
minimizing household energy
use by becoming more
energy efficient.

4. THE CAPE PATERSON HOME
.
Cape Paterson is a cape and seaside village located next to
the town of wonthaggi, Victoria , Australia.
Cape Paterson Home is a housing scheme with all 230 units
of home at least 7.5 stars on the Nationwide House Energy
Rating Scheme. The development boasts the title Australia’s
most sustainable housing development .

6. THE CAPE PATERSON HOME –
Beaumont concepts Core 9.
Seating on an area of 131m2
core 9 units designed by
Beaumont concepts architects
is specifically designed for the
climate and adapted for
energy rating from 6 to 10
star.

7. MATERIAL AND
TECHNOLOGY .
The core 9 integrates
sustainable materials with a
low embodied energy.
Masonry wall with high
thermal mass is used to absorb
and retain heat in interiors.

8. ORIENTATION
AND
VENTILATION.
The design was adapted to
increase northern light and
maximize cross ventilation.
Through constant refinement
wasted space was eliminated
such as hallways and entrance
areas reducing heating and
cooling loads as well as
construction cost.

9. Windows at front and back few openings on the East-
for cross ventilation. West wall.

10. Shading techniques.
Shading of openings achieved
by use of overhungs and
wooden pergola for
entracnces and in some
instances recessed walls.

11. shading by use of overhangs and recessed walls.

12. CARBON POSITIVE AND ZERO
WASTE.
A carbon positive home uses renewable energy sources
to generate enough clean energy for the mone
operational needs.
Zero wastes by adapting design to use standard material
lengths to minimize off-cuts. Selection of materails
which are recycled or have ability to be up- cycled avoids
construction waste contributing to landfill.

13. ECONOMICS AND
RECYCLABILITY.
Selection of materials has been influenced by ability of
each component to be manufactured with recycled
content to reduce raw material extract with the ability to
be recycled . Designed to balance energy efficiency,
optimal thermal performance and operational
efficiencies to reduce the cost of running core homes and
a mix of solar water heater, solar power and rain water
havesting.

14. Environmentally friendly building products with low
embodied energy and materials with minimal maintainance
and longevity.

16. Standard construction
methods used but in a
different way to increase
performance. For example the
use of the inverted roof truss
allows more light into the
building but does not require
specialist methods.
