This educational wall chart explains the principles of eco-friendly housing and how environmentally responsible design can reduce resource use and environmental impact. It introduces the concept of building homes that use fewer natural resources while improving energy efficiency, water conservation, and indoor comfort. The chart shows how careful planning and design can significantly reduce household energy needs for heating, cooling, and lighting.

A large central diagram illustrates an eco-friendly, self-sustainable house, with labelled features such as orientation for maximum sunlight, roof overhangs, insulation, skylights, ventilation, and energy efficient windows. The chart explains how materials like stone, timber, clay, and recycled components help regulate indoor temperatures. It also covers renewable energy solutions, including solar water heaters and photovoltaic panels, showing how electricity and hot water can be generated sustainably.

Additional sections focus on saving electricity and water, highlighting rainwater harvesting, grey water reuse, and low flow water systems. The lower section presents alternative building methods and materials such as timber and clay, timber and local materials, straw bales, and earth construction. Each method is explained with visual examples to show how eco-friendly homes can be affordable and sustainable. This wall chart also works effectively as a poster for classrooms, geography lessons, and environmental science education.

Our wallcharts are engineered for durability and educational impact, designed to withstand the rigors of both classroom and home environments.
