Homes
BP Architects design healthy sustainable homes; which have good
indoor air quality and comfortable indoor air temperatures.
The buildings are energy efficient building systems, with lower energy
consumption.
The sustainable homes that BP Architects design are healthy to live
in, easy to maintain, economically viable & have a connection with the
environment.
Healthy Sustainable Homes
The following features & benefits are what makes a Healthy Sustainable Home
West st Kilda Home, designed by BP Architects
 Occupant Usability
 Liveability
 Water Conservation
 Passive Solar Design
 Healthy Environment
 Energy & Resource Efficient Building System
 Active solar systems
 Good return on Investment
Healthy Sustainable Homes
What these features & benefits mean to you
 Occupant Comfort
Comfortable indoor air temperatures
 Water Conservation Devices
Rainwater / Grey water / Black water
 Climatic Design
Passive Solar Heating & Cooling
 Healthy Indoor Environment
Good Indoor Air Quality
 Energy Efficient Building System
Solar Chimney, Stack Effect
 Active solar systems / Renewable Energy
Photo-voltaic, Wind, CO2 Heat Pumps, Fans, Geothermal
 Good return on Investment
Low Household Running Costs
destratifying fans, living areas, West st Kilda Home
Healthy Sustainable Homes
for Occupant Usability you would expect
 Control of air flow in & out
 Thermal mass stabilizing indoor air temperatures
 Control of zoned areas & building volume
 Air Transfer Ducts / Ventilation Systems
Airlock Entry, Allergy Free Home, Warragul
Healthy Sustainable Homes
this would be through easy to use simple operations
 Exhausting hot air
 High clerestory windows
 Heat retention
 Double glazed windows
