Although very much the "buzz word" of the moment, sustainability is a long-established concept in domestic building design.
Technological advances in conjunction with developments in the viability of renewable energy may offer future solutions to the much debated environmental challenges ahead. However, to be truly sustainable, architecture must draw upon the more passive elements of design that have been proven over time and continue to function largely maintenance-free during the lifespan of the building.
