Background - What is building sustainability?

Building sustainability is, in practice, living in harmony and respecting the natural environment. It also means considering the economic, social and environmental aspects of our decisions and reducing our carbon footprint by adopting a more energy, water, and material-intensive lifestyle. It is important to work towards a safe and healthy community. Recognizing the above, the sector of the building industry, which includes consumers, builders and designers, as well as manufacturers, regulators, agents marketing agents and developers, continues its efforts to develop sustainability in the built environment.

The building sector is trying to find and implement reforms that will decrease its environmental impact and increase social cohesion. Each member of the building industry must contribute to finding sustainable futures for their own economic and social development. The market and the final product offered by builders, architects, and developers have a huge impact on consumer demand.

Understanding how to manage a home and the lifestyle options that are recommended can significantly reduce its operational impact while improving comfort, health, and finances. Housing can be made more sustainable by consumers. Great change can be made by raising awareness of sustainable design principles and communicating these preferences to architects, builders, marketers, and designers.

Tradespeople and builders in Australia have proven time and again that they are able to adapt to changing technology, regulations and trends. Many builders are now facing another challenge: building more sustainable homes. Construction is very competitive.

To support the builder's efforts to create more sustainable housing, it is important that there are 'level playing fields'. These should include information about insulation levels, shading details and window performance. They should also mention durability of materials, appliances, and other important elements. Designers and architects play a leading role in the implementation of sustainable reforms.

They also have much to answer for the sustainability performance of the entire industry. The design stage is where the majority of decisions that affect the lifetime performance of buildings will be made. Like builders, manufacturers provide products that meet the regulatory requirements or satisfy consumer demand. Manufacturers are finding that their sustainable products give them a competitive advantage. This is also true for developers, builders, and designers.

Every level of government is working hard to implement sustainable change. This can be achieved by the community supporting the effort to raise awareness and provide solutions. Market needs are met by developers and marketing agents. Their success is dependent on their ability and willingness to listen to consumers and provide them with quality products at a reasonable price. Australia's experience has shown that consumers are more than ready for sustainable housing, and that marketers and developers can provide it. Marketers and developers also play a significant leadership role in implementing sustainability reforms in the sector. www.yourhome.gov.au has extensive information.
