摘要: This paper investigated the relationship between house size, star ratings and renewable energy systems to identify a range of affordable low carbon housing scenarios for Australian market, specifically focusing on Zero (net) Energy Housing (ZEH) Melbourne, Victoria. Research is increasingly emerging around world identifying technical financial feasibility housing, policy development beginning reflect this. However debate still surrounds additional upfront costs achieve particularly in terms include technologies. therefore estimated constructing 15 ZEH's from variety sizes scenario. Analysis results indicated that: an 8 ZEH could be constructed similar amount 9 connected only traditional utilities; small reductions floor area can offset most, if not all, associated with achieving ZEH, as size key determinant consumption. The findings provide valuable insights architects, planners developers interested progressing led carbon-constrained future Australia.
