The framework estimates the energy end-use at the single dwelling level on three aggregated scales: district, neighbourhood and communities.
As the intervention was carried out at a dwelling level, in order to avoid clustering, we selected only one primary participant per household, the person best able to complete the study questionnaire.
The most influential urban density indicators are found to be the dwelling service level (m2/cap) and the building design lifetime.
Ongoing monthly fees start at around $2,000, and typically include your residence, your medical care and food -- and may run higher depending on the type of community, size of dwelling and level of care provided.

Inside the two-level dwelling, rustic pieces, comfortable seating and quirky artwork fill every nook and cranny.
