Improving acclimatization of buildings

Providing solar efficient housing
Controlling thermal comfort of buildings

Description

Improving acclimatization of buildings involves implementing design and technological measures to optimize indoor environmental conditions in response to external climate variations. This strategy focuses on enhancing thermal comfort, air quality, and energy efficiency through insulation, ventilation, adaptive shading, and smart control systems. Its practical intent is to reduce occupant discomfort, minimize health risks, and lower energy consumption, thereby addressing issues of inadequate climate adaptation, excessive energy use, and poor indoor environmental quality in built environments.

If all houses in Australia were picked up, and put down again, facing at exactly the optimum or correct angle in relation to the sun, so when it gets very hot, the house will be as cool as possible, and when it gets cold, the sun could warm the building in the most optimum way, Australia's energy bill could be reduced by 80%
