Smartflo Gutters on Sustainable House
-
- Content rating:
- Brief Case Study
- posted 08 Oct 2010
Michael Mobbs pioneered sustainable urban lifestyle in Australia, documenting the journey in his book "Sustainable House". He and his family are entirely self sufficient with water collected from a 10m run of Smartflo gutter on his terrace house in Myrtle St, Chippendale.
Smartflo gutters address the dual problems of rainwater harvest and adequate roof drainage using a design based on the requirements of AS3500 Part 3 - Roof Drainage Systems Design. Tests performed at Newcastle University by Dr. Sean Manning have determined that Smartflo will handle storm events up to 175mm per hour, before reaching overflow. Should the overflow point be reached, water will always flow off the outer lip of the gutter, away from the house.

The City Edge is a high density mixed use development in inner-north Canberra. The development is located adjacent to a tributary of Sullivan’s Creek which flows directly into Lake Burley Griffin. The developer collaborated with a local catchment management group to develop an artificial wetland adjacent to the site. This wetland was designed to improve the quality of stormwater flowing into the creek. This partnership both acknowledged the impact of consolidation on the quality of stormwater and also provided a valuable community education tool.

WestWyck

- posted 13 May 2008
WestWyck occupies the building and grounds of the former Brunswick West Primary School in inner suburban Melbourne. The school ran out of students in the 1980s and threatened to become yet another example of quality inner-urban infrastructure that had lost its original function and faced the bulldozer. Instead, the WestWyck developers aimed to bring the building to new and vibrant life as an urban demonstration showpiece of sustainable development and good design. This has included engaging a landscape artist as part of the project team.
