Example Detached Residence
A Life Cycle Assessment has been carried out on the proposed design, calculating theFDUERQ�HPLVVLRQV�GXH�WR�PDWHULDOV¶�PDQXIDFWXUH��PDWHULDOV¶�transport, buildingmaterial, building maintenance and building operations. The boundary of theassessment includes the building foundations, floors, walls, roof, internal finish,external finish, services and basic fittings. The results measured against a benchmarkare summarized below:
Design Embodied Carbon839 kgCO2e per year per Occupant. Saving of 45%
Design Operational Carbon-671 kgCO2e per year per Occupant. Saving of 126%
Total Design168 kgCO2e per year per Occupant. Saving of 96%

Environmental Sustainability ScaleExample Detached Residence
The depictions above represent the predicted impacts of greenhouse gas pollution in IPCC reports.A best cast scenario of rapid but green growth towards a services economy and clean energy limitstemperature rise to 1.8 degrees C. Adverse effects limited to 1m sea level rise, 30% of total speciesat risk. An 80% reduction in greenhouse gasses by 2050 required to maintain this safe threshold.A business as usual fossil-fuel intensive development scenario leads to temperature rise of over 4degrees C. This would likely lead to 1.4m sea level rise, possible runaway climate change, a massextinction event and significant economic and social turmoil.

74zero energy Australian homes for one year
