Buildings use 40% of total energy consumed*, 12.2% of the total amount of water consumed per day* and 40% of Australian waste is building waste*. These facts and, more notably affordable green sustainable solutions were released today in a 150 page study. Earlier this year Econstruct Australia, a company based in NSW, commissioned an independent study to review all the parts of a building, their impact on the environment and our pocket. This report has recently been completed and shows a number of affordable and sustainable options that could be used in all new buildings today. The report shows that technologies have moved beyond earth and straw to allow more easily approved and easily built low impact sustainable buildings. Using a number of eco chic modern designs, materials and technologies an eco-friendly home can look great and also save an average of $3,000 per year in energy expenses. Standard fittings in modern affordable sustainable buildings and homes include solar panels, solar electricity, underground water tanks, bamboo flooring, spotted gum decks, eco wool insulation, and low impact (cement free) footings.
