Energy Smart Housing

The Energy Smart Housing Manual was created by the Sustainable Energy Authority Victoria in 2002.

The manual aims to assist builders, designers, energy raters and home owners in maximising the energy saving potential of any property or house design.

Even though this document was published in 2002, I personally still find it very resourceful.
