planning for success
Before you buy, renovate or build a home, you should consider both your needs, and the needs of your family, which helps in informing you on how to achieve long-term comfort and energy efficiency. This research and decision making will influence how well your home suits your lifestyle, how cost effective it is to run, and how sustainable it is over the long-term. This means that the quality of the information you gather, and the sources of this information, whether online, or via consultants, will ultimately determine the quality of your completed home.
It helps to think about your needs, and what you want to achieve in terms of long-term performance. Make sure you keep those goals in mind through the planning process, and if you want to build an environmentally sustainable home, seek out help when working on a budget. Sustainable design features might have some upfront costs, but will save you money in the long run. Some can also improve comfort. It is a good idea to seek out a wide range of information: from online sources, in books and magazines, and from experts such as architects, designers and builders. Be prepared to change your ideas when you get new information.
