Building Services
Electrical, Lighting and gas
Electrical layout maximises the safety of
using electrical appliances
Install sufficient power points located with regard to likely
furniture and appliance arrangements
If the mains power switch is located externally to the house, a padlock is fitted
Electrical appliances are energy efficient
All appliances have a minimum energy performance rating of 4 stars(dishwaters, refrigerators, washing machines, dryers, air conditioners).
Artificial lighting, externally and
internally is energy efficient
The installed lighting is predominantly fluorescent tubes or compact fluorescent lights for ambient lighting
Stoves and ovens
are energy efficient
The cook top uses natural gas (where possible)
The oven is either gas or fan forced electric
Stoves and ovens are safe to use
All gas appliances and range hoods have a flue to the outside
Gas cooktop (if used) has an emergency cut - out switch installed
The wall oven is securely fitted
An anti - tilt bracket or iron - stove lock is fitted to upright stoves and ovens (ideally the oven could have side opening door and the mid- shelf of oven in line with the bench height).
Plumbing & Drainage
Hot water supply is efficient
Hot water system is located as close as possible
to the areas where hot water is needed
Wet areas in the dwelling are grouped close to each other
Hot water system is energy efficient
The hot water system is a gas system (instantaneous or storage) with a 5 star AGA energy rating (supply either from reticulated natural gas or bottles LPG)
Consumption of mains water supply is reduced
A water tank, to collect rainwater from the roofs of the dwelling, garage and any storage shed, is installed that
has at least 3,000 litre capacity for small lots and 5,000 litres for larger lots
has a first flush device, mesh strainer and is mosquito proofed
is connected for use in the gardens, all toilets and the cold water outlet in the laundry
The tank will need mains back-up connection through either a trickle or top - up system or an automatic switching device
Reduce water usage and waste going to sewer
Install a grey water storage and reuse system (e.g. water from basins, shower, washing machines)
Site & Landscape
Soil degradation, sediment run off, and storm water runoff has been reduces
The landscape design reduces storm water runoff from the site through permeable paving, pebble paths, infiltration trenches, soak wells lawn, garden areas, swales and like
Soft landscaping accounts for a minimum of 30% of the site area
Landscaping reduces the need for
water, chemical and energy inputs
Use plants that:
Are native to the local area
Are appropriate to the soil conditions
Have low water needs
Group plants with similar needs together
Site needs minimal change to accommodate the home
Do not require removal of large amounts of vegetation, especially deep rooted trees
Avoid alteration of watercourses and drainage patterns
Are flat or gently sloping in order to minimise cut and fill excavation (any cut and fill must be stabilised and revegetated as soon as possible)
