AC,
so nice of you to offer to help! Thank you!
The house will be built in Coogee (near Fremantle), in Western Australia, Zip code 6166 (if it can help).
The long term averages are Max 23c (72F), Min 12.5c (54F)
with highs of 42c (107F) and lows of 3c (37F).
Humidity is low and and average 125 days of clear skies
One of the best climates in the world....
However, we do need to warm the house in winter.
I the summer we tend to just open the windows and let the breeze in, but some days we get no wind and it gets hot.
The house has been designed with the best R rating in mind, double glazing and insulation in both walls and ceilings. As well as sun angles studies.
I might be wrong, but I think the ground temperature is close to 18c (64F) all year round.
I would also welcome any input from other people who might have experience with a similar climate and or are in Australia and have first hand suppliers info.
Lastly, since I have a low post count, I am not able to send/reply to PMs etc etc so bear with me if I seem to ignore people....
Keep smiling
Stefano
