- The site of this house has been relocated where the living area is positioned facing north so the house can receive enough sunlight and natural heating during winter. - As seen on the sun path diagram, the sun will rise higher and shine longer than in summer, therefore, a pergola is seen facing north so it can provide shading for the resident. Also, the pergola will be planted with deciduous plant, where in winter, the sun light can penetrate through the pergola. - There are a few proposed deciduous trees and evergreen trees with different purpose, mainly as a shading and allowing cool breeze itnto the house. - There will be a car cover for Mr. Carlton’s car to keep it dry during the rainy season. - The pathway will be paved with pebble paving concrete to allow an easy drainage for rainwater, hence, the rainwater will be able to drain through the soil effectively.

- The north facing roof is adjusted to be higher than the south facing roof allowing sun light to be captured by the PV panels during the day time. Also, there will be solatubes installed on the north facing roof to allow natural light and ventilation inside the room *refer to page 02 for more information regarding the solatube system.

- The roof will be constructed with Permalite V-Rib with 915 mm cover width. It has a minimum maintenance to remain corrosion free, easy to install, durable, light weight, low emboided energy, and large catchment a r e a . - The rainwater will rely on the gutter installed on both edges of the roof (R- Value of 4.1) - The roof will be constructed with light coloured recycled aluminium sheets to enhance the reflective ability of the roof. The recycled aluminium has a low emboided energy for approximately 40 GJ and a longer life span as it is a recycle material.

- PV System is used as a natural resources for electricity in the house where it only uses sunshine to generate electricity inside the house, also, it is a sustainable strategy that do not release any harm to the environment and human being. - The inverter will ensure that the house will always use the house’s own solar panel production first, with access to the additional energy from the grid when the electric supply is not enough. Any unused solar energy will be exported to the grid for a nominated feed-in tariff and stored in the Solar Battery. - The Solar System will be from Solar Gain with 12x solar panel and 3kW inverter with average daily energy 13.5 kWh per day. *information

Collection
The power will be generated from solar panel system where it will gain electricity from the sun rays. Therefore, the roof has been angled to meet the needs in any seasons.
Storage
After the collection, the solar gain heat will be inverted from solar inverter so it could produce electricity. If there is excess energy, it will be stored in solar battery.
Distribution
From the inverter, the electricity created from the inverter will be distributed to the switchboard for household appliannces, such as lighting, machines, fan, power point, etc.

WATER RECYCLING AND DRAINAGE Grey Water System
Landscaping Plants suitable for Grey Water
Water Recycling and Drainage Connection
The house will use a diversion and filtration device which will transfer the grey water to the garden with a plumbing or hoses system. The house will locate a Grey Flow PRO underground. The system will be able to recyclethe greywater from laundries, sinks, showers and baths and reuse it for gardening purpose. The system could recycle up to 24,000 liters of grey water per day. Also, the system could irrigate up to 5,000 square meters for landscaping.

The rain water that falls on the ground will penetrate through the soil. If it falls on the footpath or driveway, it will also goes through the soil as the path has been paved with pable pebble paving concrete that will allow a fast drain through the soil. If the rain falls on the roof, it will be collected through the gutter. For more details, refer back to page 05.
note: refer to page 01 for the actual location of the sewer pit and the pond.

Hydronic Panel Heater - Solar Generated Power
- Low operational cost as the energy will be generated mainly from PV solar system. If there is no sufficient amount of energy from the PV panel, the energy will be generated from electricity, heat pump, or gas. - Moderate reactivity compared to Panel installed on slab. - Very comfortable radiant heat and humidity, no dust or draft from the system. - Heater will be placed under or near window to avoid condensation on glazing and to mix air temperature inside the room. - The heating area will be zoned, as Ms. Carlton will spend most of her time in the living room or kitchen to take care of the children (Cadorel, 2018).

DESIGN FOR RESILIENCE The Clients are concerned with the severe droughts in Cape Town, South Africa and the extreme water restrictions plaguing the local population. Also, the recent droughts in Victoria make the clients worried about the disaster happening again in the future. Hence, this paper will explain how to maximise water collection and storage to be more resilient in the future when droughts occur.
Solution for a Drought Resistant House
Vulnerable Areas The areas where have openings will be vulnerable to drought as the air could go outside the room, especially warm air in winter and cold air in summer. For doors, the most common isue would be air leakage from the bottom of the doors.
There could be heat loss from the evaporative cooling system’s vent as it is exposed to the outside.
Cover the evaporative cooling system’s vents with a specially designed cover that would prevent air leakage.
As for the gardening and landscape, anti-drought plants could be planted to uphold the soil when the strong wind strikers and avoid the soil being blown away. For the pond, water filter straw could be used to make the water from the pond drinkable when there is no clean water from the main water.

Legend: Air Vents Same with the other openings, the skylight can be a weakness in the house.
The most problematic issue that would happen when drought occurs is the reducing amount of water that can be use in the household. Also, the room will be very hot in summer season.

Seal gaps and cracks on windows and doors. Also, drought-stoppers could be installed at the base of door to keep warm air during winter season and cold air during summer season.
Exhaust Fan Fan AC Indoor Unit
When droughts occur around the area, the bedrooms will be hot due to the evaporative cooling systems that will not be able to work efficiently. Therefore, the family could sleep on the living room area, where there are two large fans and Air Conditioning generated from the solar PV Systems.
