Plumbing & Drainage
Hot water system is energy efficient
Hot water system is either a solar sysyem(electric gas boosted) or heat pump with a minimum of 24 renewable energy certificates(RECs) or
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
Water tank to collect rainwater from the roofs of the dwelling, garage and any storage shed is installed that:
Has at least 3000 litre capacity for small lots and 5000 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
Hot water supply is efficient
Wet areas in the dwelling are grouped close to each other
Hot water system is located as close as possible to the areas where hot water is needed
Hot water pipes are insulated
Reduce water usage and waste going into sewer
Install a grey water storage and reuse system(e.g. water from basins, shower, washing mashines)
Consider installing a composting toilet
Electrical, Lighting & 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(es) is located externally to the home, a padlock is fitted (contact your electricity provider for details of appropriate locks).
Electrical appliances are energy efficient
All appliances have a minimum energy performance rating of 4 stars(dishwashers, 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 safe to use
All gas appliances and range hoods have a flue to the outside
Gas cook top (if used) has an emergency cut-out switch installed
The wall oven (if fitted) is securely mounted
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)
Stoves and ovens are energy efficient
The cook top uses natural gas (where possible)
The oven is either gas or fan-forced electric
Site & Landscape
Landscaping reduces the need for
water, chemical and energy inputs
Group plants with similar needs together
Using plants that:
Are native to the local area
Are appropriate to the soil conditions
Have low watering needs
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
Flat or gently sloping sites in order to minimise cut and fill excavation (any cut and fill must be stabilised and revegetated as soon as possible)
Soil degradation, sediment run off, and
storm water runoff has been reduced
The landscape design reduces storm water runoof from the site through permable paving, pebble paths, infiltration trenches, soak wells, lawn, garden areas, swales and the like
Soft landscaping accounts for a minimum of 30% of site area
