Hi Eric,
in the design of your house, remember this:
blackouts are going to become increasingly familiar during peak load periods. The capacity necessary to supply all those suburban air-cons is not there. So anticipate how your design would handle blackouts. Wide eaves are a must and beware those lovely all-glass walls. The new McMansion homes in suburban areas will be ovens if they can run their air-cons. Maximise the natural thermal properties of your building and place the house accordingly.
Peter
