They are useful information not only for designers and builders but individuals as well whether you are buying or building a new house or renovating/retro-fitting an existing home.
A well designed sustainable home will:
- Save on running costs
- Be more comfortable and pleasant to live in
- Be significantly more environmentally responsible
A report by the Australian Bureau of Statistics studied sale prices and eco star ratings in the Australian Capital Territory - it found that for a house worth $365,000, increasing the rating by half a star would add, on average, nearly $4500 to its price.
With electricity prices in NSW expected to increase by a whopping 64 per cent over the next three years, improving your property value is just one more motivation to take up eco renovating. Everything from shower roses to solar panels can alter a property's carbon footprint, so it's worth starting somewhere.
Improving energy efficiency around the home delivers a range of benefits. It can help reduce pressure on household budgets from increasing energy prices, it can improve the level of comfort in our homes and it reduces personal carbon emissions and our own household＊s impact on climate change.
Knowledge is a power＃＃..
We are always ready to seat with you and give you an advice how to improve your home and make more comfortable for living. We always start and try to implement no cost and low cost measures first rather than high cost solution. |
