Home designs

You’ve got a block of land, now what?

You need a stylish, functional and energy efficient home design that will see you living comfortably for many years to come.

So how do you choose an energy efficient home design that’s perfect for your lifestyle and everyday comfort of living?

Let us help you…

What is an energy efficient home?

You are probably thinking all new homes are energy efficient, right? Unfortunately the answer is no.

Luckily, you don’t have to compromise in terms of beauty, functionality and budget when building a sustainable home. The concept of an energy efficient home is pretty simple – a home that uses less energy to run.

The principles of energy efficient homes are also pretty simple;

1. Use smart orientation to take advantage of warmth from the sun and cool from the breeze;
2. Heavily insulate and seal gaps to provide a barrier to heat flow;
3. Use our greatest natural resource – the sun – to provide power through solar energy;
4. Given heating and cooling chew up around 40% of energy use in the home in Canberra, use proper orientation and insulation to minimise the need for cooling;
5. Use energy efficient heating/cooling, appliances and lighting.

Why do I need an energy efficient house in Canberra?

Due to extreme temperature fluctuations, Canberra homes require substantially more energy to achieve thermal comfort and are therefore perfectly suited to energy efficient design and building practices. It means that our homes need to take advantage of insulation, orientation, passive heating and cooling, glazing and thermal mass.

How to maximise natural lighting with your design orientation

There are a number of benefits that come with designing a home to accommodate natural light into living areas and bedrooms. The more natural light you have in your home, the less lights you have to turn on, and the less electricity you use. It may surprise you, but about 10% of household electricity usage comes from lighting alone!

So what is the ideal orientation?
