sorry about that but this message was not showing through the bigpond
server so i dragged it from the google interface.

yes i get that a lot "how can home design help?" it can help a lot and
a whole heap more than not designing can. just for a very lot of
people thinking outside the square and outside the comfort zone blocks
lateral thinking on the subject matter.

so i colder areas you design and build a home that needs minimum
heating because that is the major part of the season so then adding
some cooling isn't as bad and design can also minimise the cooling
needed.


But summer is generally 'very' hot, with the occasional snow, flooding and
many very cold days. And winter is generally 'very' cold with snow etc,
but occasionally has warm days. I can understand building houses to suit
hot climates, or very cold climates, but Australia has both. What about
central Australia, they have super hot days, but super cold nights.

Oh, well ,if we do bugger the planet up completely and have to move to Mars,
central Aussies will be right at home....
