to support information.
- There are also sections on different topics relating to
sustainable building design. If you want to know about more specific aspects,
then go to the following Power Points;
- You can also find out what the issues are by looking at
the following links that give web addresses to help you make informed

Each of the Power Points
provides links to other useful sites, including materials developed by the
Centre for Alternative Technology. For more information about CAT�s resources,

(specific design brief)
A few committed designers and builders are gradually extending their knowledge and
practice in energy efficient, ecological methods of construction. Design and
make a model of an energy efficient, pre-fabricated house or alternative
building, or a component for such a building. It should use ecological materials
