Suburban Wipeouts: Tone Wheeler

This is an online event:

Tone Wheeler explains how some current perceptions of sustainability are flawed. By utilizing the Aristotelian division of matter into earth, air, fire and water, the subject of sustainability in house design is simplified. Issues of thermal mass, ventilation, efficient space design, orientation, integration of indoor and outdoor spaces, roof design and rainwater collection are all discussed. Wheeler explains the misconceptions about the application of NatHERS and also explains the function of BASIX. Misconceptions about sustainability are broken down and it becomes evident that one can use the influences of the past, with the technology of the present, in a positive sustainable manner.
