The schemes we designed which won the energy awards have the following
features:
- thermal storage using large water calorifiers.
- very high insulation in the walls, even in one of them
being three layers of masonry construction.
-
high thermal mass for elderly people so that the homes stay warm in the day.
- lighter buildings for
other users, which heat up quicker
- energy management systems for commercial buildings which can knock the start time of the heating till later when it has
been mild.
Why?
The Earth depends forever
/ On its life support system /
Providing water, food and air.
There is no second chance; Damage to
the life support system
/ Risks everything, for
ever.
