Winds
The prevailing sea breeze winds of the summer from the South / South West directions can reach strengths of 35-40 knots+ on occasion and are a regular occurrence during most days of the summer. It is important to consider this when designing your home if you would like to take advantage of some free air conditioning during the warmer months. Alternately you may wish to consider creating an area in your home that is protected from these winds and create a calm, shaded and relaxing environment in an area of you home.
It is not only the summer winds to be wary of, winter in South West WA can be in the path of some serious storms. With the large cold pressure systems moving in off the Indian Ocean winds have been recorded around 145 km/h and can push over a 100 feet tall gum tree.
Careful consideration of the prevailing wind directions, their strengths and their ability to cause asset damage is a must when building in #Yallingup and the #South West WA Wine Region.
Energy Efficiency
Taking advantage of the abundant natural energy such as the sun and the wind can be a great method of saving a lot of money on your heating, cooling and lighting bills.
Thinking about your normal habits within your home, where do you spend time in your home and at what times during the day are you in those locations? It’s healthy for the sunlight to wake you up in the mornings but also at night it is important to have a peaceful sleep so that you are rejuvenated properly. Things such as making your place of sleep in a location away from noise activity can greatly improve your sleeping patterns.

Another very effective way of saving on energy consumption is to take advantage of the cool afternoon sea breeze that South West Western Australia is famous for. Once again consider where you will be spending time in your home in the time periods when the sea breeze is blowing. Thinking about those locations, would you like a home designed for you that can take advantage of the nice cool breeze during the hotter months in South West WA? No noisy Air Conditioning Unit to hear and great savings on your energy bills. Overall there is usually an amount of energy use required to live a comfortable life but if we all took some responsibility in reducing the amount of energy we use. If we all did this the result would be less pressure on our natural resources and our environment.
