Energy Efficient Design Principles

If you are thinking of building or renovating a house - consider making it an energy efficient house. Not only will it save money on energy costs, it will reduce the impact on our environment.

The Sustainable Energy Development Office outlines design suggestions for improving energy efficiency and has a House Energy Rating Tool which determines how much heating and cooling will be needed to keep your home at a comfortable temperature.
