Eco-building is not just about using environmentally-friendly materials or energy efficient appliances either, it starts right at the planning stage. To begin with the layout of a development like 'The Fishing Village' is devised to maximize the number of homes with north/south, southwest or southeast orientation. This increases passive solar gains, giving the potential for roof-based solar water heating, which some of the homes already have.
