		These homes, as well as being prone to attack in bushfires, are not thermally comfortable, very often require air conditioning to make them habitable, and consume unnecessary high amounts of energy with associated greenhouse gas emissions.

		However, insurers internationally are beginning to recognise that their risks are directly linked to climate change and environmental factors and are seriously promoting investment in energy efficient and environmental responsive design.

	The National Association of Steel-Framed Housing - NASH Australia (Site not responding. Last check: )
		How big the bushfire becomes depends on how much fuel is present in the bush, the persistence of the weather conditions, the efforts of the firefighters and the preparedness of the affected community.
		The mechanisms of bushfire attack on houses and the way types of house respond are well understood and documented.
		In addition to flames from the bushfire itself, flame contact may occur from secondary fires in stored materials, outbuildings, adjoining properties, etc. For example, embers might attack and ignite litter driven against a woodpile, igniting the woodpile causing a large fire which then spreads to an outbuilding and eventually to the main house.
