Post Crit - Materials
In response to an issue raised within the crit, the implication of fire resistant materials in bushfire prone areas was reflected upon and considered in order to fit with the existing design. Detailed as below.
Utilization of hebel building material style walls for exterior of module units for application in bushfire prone/affected areas. It has desirable properties in this front, and would be easily fitted and characterized to the existing design.
The hebel power wall would be of similar design to walls all ready proposed and could take on similar aesthetics and properties.
