Episode 4: Light House Architecture & Science

Whether you’re building anew, renovating, or renting, there are several steps you can take to improve your home’s energy efficiency:​

• Insulation: Proper insulation in walls, roofs, and floors helps maintain indoor temperatures, reducing the need for heating and cooling.​
  
• Windows: Installing double-glazed windows can enhance thermal performance and reduce energy bills.​
  
• Solar panels: Harnessing solar energy can significantly cut electricity costs and decrease your carbon footprint.​
  
• Energy-efficient appliances: Opt for appliances with high energy star ratings to ensure lower energy consumption.​
  
• Smart design: Incorporate passive design principles, such as orientation and shading, to maximise natural light and ventilation.​

   

By implementing these measures, you can create a more comfortable living environment while contributing to a sustainable future.
