Naturally refreshing

Naturally-ventilated houses, as the ACF describes (Peninsula News, July 11), used to be built.

We could get a cool breeze from the front to the back of the house and a cross breeze from windows each side of the house.

How could developers now build houses that are hot in summer and cold in winter and the proposed draft of the Peninsula Urban Directions Strategy (PUDS) proposes more of the same?

It was refreshing to read the ACF submission calling for a full ecological assessment of the draft PUDS.
