4 2014 HIA GREENSMART HOME OF THE YEAR

The designers were not deterred by the constraints of the small block with the home featuring a garden, green roof to collect energy, heat and water. The design of the home considers many aspects including passive solar design to create a comfortable and energy smart dwelling HIA GREENSMART HOME OF THE YEAR

6 2014 HIA GREENSMART HOME OF THE YEAR FINALISTS Killarney Homes Northern Territory The striking aspect of this winning spec home is its distinct architectural character, arising from an appropriate response to Darwin s seasons.

The home revives the architecture of the region with its deep shading, generous outdoor living areas, raised floor and breezy spaces. MyStyle Homes (QLD) Pty Ltd North Queensland This 8.5 star energy rated home achieves an environmentally sustainable footprint. The use of on-site power generation allows the home to go off the grid. Other features include passive solar design, thermal mass, as well as products that have the highest available standard of energy efficiency currently on the market. Positive Footprints Victoria This project home is a holistic example of modern sustainable living which embodies sustainability. This has been achieved through the thoughtful use of reverse brick veneer construction, waffle slab, lightweight claddings as well as significant planting of fruit producing plants. The 9 star energy rating has been achieved by the highly efficient use of water and energy, including a solar system and redwater thermal transfer valves and grey water diversion valves for water re-use.
