In order to allow winter sun to enter the interior place, the orientation of living area is strategically placed to face north and bedrooms to the south.
COLD WINTER WIND OPTIMUM ANGLE 37.8° Angle Roof FOR SOLAR PANELS & ROOF The ideal angle for solar panels in Australia is usually equal to the latitude angle of the location of the property. Ideally, solar panels would be positioned at an angle of 37.8° in Melbourne.
DEPTH OF EAVES The Ideal Eave Depth includes everything that contributes to shade or overhang across the window during Summer.

Usually, living areas and the kitchen are the most important locations for passive heating as they are used day and evening. Bedrooms generally require less heating.

Additionally, it allows cool summer winds from south to enter the house so that the internal spaces will be cooled down passively without much extra energies. Melbourne has a temperate oceanic climate with changeable weather conditions. Thus to respond the design, multiple heating and cooling system might be necessary to react to different solutions. A wellinsulated structure of house is essential, too.
Minimum Depth of Eaves: 880mm
