In the late 1990's we made a video called 'Green by Design'. It was made for the Royal
Australian institute of Architects, and it won an award in 1998 from the Western Australian
government. In the production and direction, my colleague Dr Bill Parker was involved and
the messages in this video are still very relevant for the present day.
Buildings consume a large proportion for the energy used by our society. In the past very
few have been energy efficient, and very few have used the benefits of the sun. We now
have the opportunity to create structures that use less energy, and work in harmony
with our environment. Whatever the size or purpose of a building the principles of low
energy design and minimal environmental impact can be applied.
The leaders in this process are the energy conscious architects with the experience,
the depth of knowledge and creative skills needed.
Any house, any building benefits by the knowledge and the use of a low energy approach to the
design process. It’s an essential part of good design.
You save energy, you save money. It’s a very simple equation.
Well I hope you enjoyed the introduction to this video. The full version can be downloaded
