Some general tips:

• Locate common rooms such as your living, dining and kitchen to the north.
• Keep eaves to a depth of 600mm so they don’t block winter sun.
• Consider locating your garage to the west side of your home.
• Use smaller, well-shaded windows to reduce heat gain or use high performance glazing.
• South facing windows facilitate winter heat loss, consider double glazing to retain heat.
• Keep windows small but openable to increase ventilation.
