Sustainability in Western Australia - Case studies (1230 words)
The Western Australian Government (Landstart) and its private sector partners in the Ellenbrook Joint Venture have endorsed the implementation of this concept by the project managers LWP Property Group Pty Ltd. Coolamon has been strategically designed to encourage the construction of solar housing.
Solar efficient housing is a way to cool and warm houses using less energy by utilising materials that contribute towards the heating and cooling of the house and positioning of houses to utilise the benefits of the summer and winter sun.
Coolamon is Ellenbrook's third village and was planned during 1999 to be a contemporary Australian village in anticipation of the new millennium and the world focus on the Sydney Olympics.
