Sustainable housing is not necessarily a new concept, however is regaining momentum as prices of oil and electricity continue to rise. It s interesting that generations gone by classic designs like the 'Queenslander' contained many features that are now made popular by mandatory energy ratings - e.g. lots of shading, higher ceilings and ventilation.  

Under the Building Code of Australia, new houses and major renovations are required to be built to a minimum energy equivalent rating that measures the energy efficiency of the house s building shell. The building shell comprises the roof, walls, windows and floors. The highest energy equivalent rating a building can achieve is 10-star, with 5-star considered to be energy efficient.
