How do you achieve a sustainable home? Is it the orientation, materials, and all the technology, such as solar panels, or is it simply doing less? Sustainable architecture is about working with the environment, not against it, to reduce its negative impact on the environment. In this video, I talk about five key design principles for a sustainable home, from passive design to materials, and how sustainability does not need to be complex; but rather, a simple approach can result in your home being cheaper to run, healthier, more comfortable to live in, and is respectful of the climate and kinder to the planet. Keep in mind that I talk about these design principles broadly. If you wish to apply these to your own future home design, you will need to consider things like where you live, context, climate, access, budget, personal needs, etc. Chapters 00:00 - Introduction 00:36 - Principle 1 - Passive Design 01:39 - Principle 2 - Energy Efficient 02:10 - Principle 3 - Systems and Technology 03:13 - Principle 4 - Footprint 04:02 - Principle 5 - Materials 04:46 - Conclusion Website article; https://simpledwelling.net/episodes/design-principles/5-principles-for-sustainable-home-design An Eco-Friendly Home That Uses Biophilic Design Principles to Connect With Nature https://youtu.be/D-apuc1lWGc This Off-Grid Limestone and Timber House Is One of Australia’s Most Sustainable Homes https://youtu.be/ueSVKjq3DoM Join to have the Simple Edition delivered to your inbox every month; https://simpledwelling.net/simple-edition Support what I do by becoming a channel member; https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe1R0tqKeEZmbCMPZzH5M2g/join Simple Dwelling https://www.simpledwelling.net https://www.instagram.com/simple_dwelling https://www.twitter.com/simple_dwelling For business inquires, advertising, sponsorship, etc, visit https://www.simpledwelling.net/advertise Produced by Simple Dwelling Filmed and Edited by Simple Dwelling / Anthony Richardson Music via https://artlist.io Fake Table by Benno #HomeDesign #SustainableDesign #Sustainability

Sustainability is a topic that has been bubbling away for a long time and is now finally coming into the mainstream spotlight. Through the unique Habitus lens, we examine the buzz around sustainability. As a society and as an industry we can no longer shy away from the fact that architecture and construction is one of the biggest polluters. There has never been a more critical time, and these projects and practices are just the tip of the iceberg. Now it’s over to you. Habitus wants to know what you think. Share your opinion at editorialteam@indesign.com.au. Together lets reframe the design conversation.
