3. Sustainability can be an idea,
an action, a way of life or
basically anything you can
think of. Anything that is
sustainable will work within
the limits of the environment
and ensure that the future
generation will not be in
danger of lack of resources.
4. Wentworth Point will have a
Discovery centre so that the
public can come visit and be
educated about and hopefully
inspired
- Sustainability
- Ways to be more
environmentally friendly
- How to lower your energy
usage
- Recommendations on energy
efficient products
This is a model of the Discovery centre
5. The Wentworth point Discovery Centre has 3
different aspects of sustainable design.

6. Solar panels are an energy efficient,
eco friendly, natural way to create
electricity for your home appliances.
Using them at the Discovery Centre
can power the minimal lighting that
there is, the appliance
demonstrations and anything that
needs electricity. Plus even though
purchasing the solar panels can be
expensive but when it comes to
paying the bill it turns out to be very
affordable.
7. The installation of glass as
many surfaces for a building
has many benefits but the main
ideas for the discovery are
reduce electrical lighting and
heating and also easily gives the
building a modernized finish.
The windows are perfect for
the lighting as we don’t need to
waste money on buying lights as
the sun can light the centre
during day and it will closed at
night.
8. Trees are natures best friend.
Planting them around the centre
makes it look more eco friendly and
overall just look attractive. But
additionally, trees produce oxygen,
absorb C02, create natural shade,
clear the air and combat the
greenhouse effect. Planting the trees
can stimulate the people of
Wentworth point to do the same and
overall fabricate a community
blossoming of nature.
9. WATER TANKS – over the whole of
Wentworth point there are many water
tanks placed in houses, public buildings
etc. Water tanks collect and recycle
the rainwater and then use it to water
gardens, toilet flushing, laundry use,
car washing and more.
BUILDING MATERIALS – during the
design process we decided the choose
recycled and eco friendly materials to
build the public building for example the
community centre. Also the recycled
building materials were used on
majority of the apartments.
