The Importance of Sustainability

In the process of designing Wentworth Point, myself and the other stakeholders came together to discuss the different ways we can benefit Wentworth point while trying not to effect it too much in a negative way.

This is a crucial stage because it is important to plan out what we need to create a sustainable area in a way that is beneficial all around so that Wentworth point can stay for many years to come.

Sustainability Is a very important factor in designing because if it isn’t considered throughout any project, it may not Function very efficiently. Back to home

In the early stages of the design process my team got together to discuss how we can add to our buildings to make it so that it would be beneficial to the environment and be convenient for the future. We brainstormed and researched many key ideas and put them into the buildings. These include;• Sloped roof with water tank (collects the rain water efficiently and

goes into the water tank easily and saves money on water bills)• Solar panels (to receive energy from the sun and helps save money

on hot water and electricity bills)• Strategically placed windows (we have placed windows in very

selective places so that throughout the day we get natural light from the sun so that artificial light is not needed as often, this reduces our consumption on electricity and again saves us money)

Sustainability of Wentworth Point

Our guarantee in Wentworth point is that we have provided it with a wide variety of features that will make it last for as many generations to come.

It’s sustainability is one of the thing that we valued most in the process of designing, and constructing.

You may have noticed that on a majority of the buildings in went worth point (especially on the main three) there are;

• Solar panels-to harness the energy of the sun for our own uses and advantage to aid us in the future

• Water tanks- to collect large amounts of water to use our gardens and help save us money costs on unneeded water

• Ramps and disabled access- so that the elderly and frail have access to our buildings
