Material and servicing techniques
Benets:
- Takes advantage of earths thermal mass. The earths
thermal mass absorbs and retains heat.
The heat is released to surrounding areas such as an
earth shelter. Because of earths high density, tem
perature change occurs slowly. This is known as ther
mal lag.
- relative constant temperature.
- Protection from natural ele
ments.
- Energy savings.
- Substantial privacy.
- Efcent use of land in urban set
ting.
- Low maintenance requirements.
- Takes advantage of passive so
lar design.
Earth Sheltering
Construction methods:
Walls most commonly used
are reinforced concrete. On
the outside of the concrete
a waterproong system is
applied. Most frequent system includes a layer of asphalt onto a heavy grade
waterproong membrane is
axed followed by a nal
liquid sealant which maybe
sprayed on. One or more
layers of insulation board
is required. After walls are
complete the earth is backlled into the remaining
space.
Structural
methods:
Reinforced concrete
is the most commonly
used material. Untreate
d wood rots within 5
years. Steel can be
used, but needs to be
incased by concrete to
keep it from direct contact with the soils which
corrodes metal. Bricks
and CMUs are also
possible options. Alternative options such as
Grancrete and Hycrete
are available.

Requires insulation on

main types
of insulation
are; closed

Reclaimed timber from old buidlings, old bridge and wharf sections, railway sleepers, etc. can
be used for ooring, furniture and facade treatment. The reuse of previously used timbers proivides an alternative to wasteful new and expensive materials.

using wastewater as a resource rather than a
waste product you can:
> Reduce water bills.
> Use less water resources.
> Irrigate your gardens during drought water
restrictions.
> Cut down the amount of pollution going into
our waterways.

water provision and wastewater treatment.

investment would depend on:

treatment services available where you live.
> The price of water in your area (urban) or
scarcity of water (rural).

or starting from scratch.
> The length of time you intend to live in your
current house.

- Standard solar panels require separate cooling mechanisms because they capture all forms of light and thus generate unnecessary heat.
- Use of Diffused Sunlight No Tracking System Needed
- The Green Sun panel uses diffused light instead of direct sunlight to provide more hours of production. This eliminates the need for a tracking system and does not
restrict the panels to rooftops.
- Standard solar panels require large apparatus surface areas
- Solar Cells Applied on the Side of the Panel
- Green Sun technology applies individual strips along the edges of glass or plastic modules.

re-design
In our redesign of the Rose Seidler House we wanted to maintain Seidlers principles while reinterpreting them into the Australian context. To achieve this our major moves were; to earth shelter a corner
into the landscape, to extend the eaves on the north and east elevationto provide adequate shading, rearranging of oorplans to make the living areas face north to maximise solar penetration.
re-design specications:
Foundation: on solid rock. Lower oor wall: Sandstone off the site.
Floor: suspended re-inforced concrete pipe columns, edge beams and hydronic heated slabs.
Walls: steel studs and hardboard- wood faced hollow core.
Window frames and doors: sustainable durable timber.
Glass: double galzed. Stairs: reclaimbed timber.
Ramp: sustainable durable timber.
Wall insulation: glareshield.
Water systems: rainwater and grey water tank.
Flashing: EDPM.
Paint: natural paint stain and varnish, mineral paint for exterior.
Drainage: vitried clay for below ground drainage.
Pipework: polyethylene.
Paving: concrete slab w/ recycled aggregate.
Earth sheltering and green roof: reinforced concrete, liquid asphalt, close celled polystyrene and eco-ex for waterproong.
