GreenSmart Awards

HIA GreenSmart Awards recognise the diligent efforts of environmentally-aware residential builders and designers.

2023 HIA Australian GreenSmart Home - Blue Eco Homes

HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards recognise those who build or design environmentally-friendly homes and provide solutions to make homes more efficient.

Award winners and finalists are making a positive difference to the environment. Leading by example, they are inspiring other HIA members to build sustainable, energy efficient and comfortable homes for their clients.

Congratulations to the 2023 HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards winners!

As part of our 2023 Symposium event, winners of the 2023 HIA Australian GreenSmart Awards were officially announced at the awards presentation evening. These awards showcase the best sustainable building practices and clever choice of environmentally friendly materials. As well as using the natural environment to create comfortable homes year-round for homeowners. 

The 2023 HIA Australian GreenSmart Home was won by New South Wales building company Blue Eco Homes for an exceptional energy-efficient house that is fully accessible, multi-generational in design and built to a BAL-40 rating.

The winning home design uses meticulous thermal and view analysis in an attempt to achieve the highly rigorous Passivhaus-Plus standards. These standards place stricter requirements on the energy performance of the building envelope and the generation of energy from renewable sources.
