The research paper is about SUSTAINABLE HOMES
The use of sustainable materials and building methods is a growing area in construction. The design of our buildings is changing to incorporate sustainable methods that help to reduce the possible impact of global warming on the environment and to reduce the use of energy and water. The ultimate goal in sustainable buildings is the zero carbon home – a structure that is built and run without producing any greenhouse gases. This is the future of sustainable construction. In this assignment you will research sustainable house designs and make a list of at least 7 sustainable features and convince your reader to such as:
 Building Materials
 Insulation
 Building Design that Reduces Energy use
 Heating and Cooling
 Energy Supply
 Others to consider – Gardens, Rainwater tanks, Solar Cells
