  1. Energy Efficient Housing Design Erica Roberts PDC

  2. What is EEHD principles? • Solar Passive Design Principles • Design,orientation of the house, building material used • Different interventions, different costs • Energy efficient materials • Insulation, bricks

  3. Why use EEHD principles? • House biggest appliance • Space heating • DSM • Energy efficiency • 1oC < 15oC adds 500 MW • Thermal Comfort • optimal thermal comfort at 21 or 22oC • Climate Specific • Different for each climatic region • Productivity • increases

  4. Other interventions associated with EEHD principles • PV • Solar Water Heating • Permaculture • Greening activities • Solar Stoves, improved wood stoves, low smoke coal, Baso Magogo method

  5. Support for EEHD delivery • Sustainable Homes Initiative • training, networking and hands-on technical assistance • Document best practice • Bridge the delivery gap • www.sustainablehomes.org • Green Professionals Scheme • recommendations on cost-effective options • lead to improvements in thermal performance • seeking to reduce greenhouse gas emissions • targets town planning and greening issues
