GreenSmart Sustainable Home
HIA-CSR ACT/Southern NSW Housing and Kitchen & Bathroom Awards
Winner: Lancaster Homes
A home that is a remarkable departure from the typical suburban house with an emphasis on sustainability and energy efficiency. Oriented East to West and positioned on the southern side of the block, it features seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces along the northerly aspect. This design allows winter sun to heat the concrete floors, providing passive heating throughout the evening. The strategic placement of windows optimizes passive temperature control, minimizing unwanted heat loss and gain through glazing. Achieving a 7.1-star energy rating, this all-electric home includes a 6.64kW solar system (Tiger Neo Solar Panels and Enphase Micro Inverter), contributing to its impressive energy efficiency. The homeowners enjoy thermally broken, double-glazed low-E windows and doors, hydronic in-slab heating in living areas, hydronic radiators in bedrooms, and an efficient electric heat pump hot water system creating a beautiful efficient family home.
