Sustainability Sustainability can be defined as something that has the ability

to maintain or to sustain itself. Sustainability is a significant concept to contemplate throughout the redevopment of Wentworth Point, as it is only made of renewable resources which are designed to not impact on the environment.

My company have used large windows for natural light- this reducing the amounts of electricity we use in our buildings

All of our building designs have incorporated environmentally friendly and recycled materials.

We have also incorporated rainwater tanks- Using a rainwater tank is great way to use a natural resource inside and outside a building.

All buildings have included solar panels- this is a great environmentally friendly way to use a natural resource to produce electricity for the buildings.

All of these resources do not produce pollution therefore are all environmentally friendly.

Sustainable Design Principles

Together as a group we have incorporated sustainable design principles by environmentally friendly and recycled materials. We also all have included solar panels in our building designs, except for our community centre which has a water smart roof garden so the community can relax and enjoy the tranquillity of nature. All of our eco-friendly buildings have been designed to include large windows and a rainwater tank, due to it being a great way to use an important resource, and it helps to conserve one of Australia’s scarcest natural resource.

Aspects Of Sustainable Design

Aspects of Sustainable Design

In my building design I have incorporated solar

panels, rainwater tanks and environmentally

friendly recycled building materials. These

sustainable features are major aspects of the

Discovery Centre. They contribute to making

Wentworth point a more sustainable area.

Solar Panels

Solar energy improves sustainability when

used in a building as the sun is used to

produce electricity. This makes the

electricity bills a lot cheaper, producing

more money for other sustainable

materials and ideas. This creates the

building to even more sustainable for the

Discovery Centre.

Rainwater Tank Water Tanks collect rainwater to provide fresh

water for the building and community.

When a rainwater tank is installed it reduces

your water consumption, saving money on

water bills. Fresh water from the water tank

can be used to provide water for inside an

outside the building, such as for flushing toilets,

washing clothes, watering gardens and fresh

drinking water for the community.

Environmentally Friendly and

Recycled Materials

In all of our building designs we will be using environmentally friendly, recycled and reclaimed materials. Reclaimed materials include wood, paper, plastic, metal, rubber and more. By reclaiming and using recycled materials it reduces our dependency on natural resources and helps keep waste out of landfills. All materials will be environmentally friendly so it will not harm the environment or produce pollution. In a result of using these materials it will last a long time whilst not harming the environment, it is a functional and efficient for the public and the company to use.
