Occasionally I come across something that makes me feel less like a wild prophet crying out in the wilderness, and this article, about the operating costs of the stupid houses we Aussies keep building, is one such example.
It's well worth a read - especially the comments about assumptions that heating/cooling are enough (which I have been "preaching" for nearly four decades now), but I would add the significance of heat mass, use of geostabilisation, importance of verandahs, and that houses everywhere need both heating and cooling issues to be considered - I've been cold in houses in Queensland, and far too hot in houses in Melbourne.
