Find and explain two good examples of sustainability design?

1. Grand Designs Eco arch house

On channel 4 you will be familiar with the program Grand designs. When we were first handed out this project this was one of my initial thoughts. A particular house that stood out was Eco Arch. The house was made from Timber frame, insulated with recycled newspaper, but the eye-catching feature of the building was the parabolic roof, which was made with tiny clay tiles. Scattered amongst the tiles were seeds, which would create a “living, green eco roof.”

2. Eco paint

ECO Paint and varnishes are a completely unique range of decorative finishes.

VOCs are a major contributor to low-level atmospheric pollution and the use of these compounds leads to global warming. In addition, the use of solvent-based varnishes is a major cause of Sick Building Syndrome, Danish Painter's Syndrome, Asthma, Allergies.

Most emulsions currently on sale, both gloss and emulsion, contain solvents and VOCs. Ours contain none.

Using our emulsions means that rooms are safe and pleasant to live in-play in-sleep in-eat in!

I chose Eco- paint because a lot of people use paint when decorating their homes, which releases the toxic fumes, which then affect the atmosphere also the health of the customers living and using the paint. A lot of people use eco-paint in children’s bedrooms, kitchens and is especially good if a member of your family is chemically sensitive or suffers from asthma or allergies.

Also there is company who is recycling old paint to create new paint. I find this to interesting because it is taking something simple and creating a soultion.
