The Net Zero eight star home in the Eco-Living Display Village has self-sufficient in energy, water and waste management which showcases leading-edge design and technologies.
Clarendon Homes was selected by Landcom to construct the Net Zero home as well as the earlier Benchmark and Greencycle homes. These three homes comprise its innovative Eco-Living Display Homes suite which highlights sustainability concepts and products for the project home industry and general housing market.
Steve Driscoll, Director, Sustainability and Policy at Landcom said, “The Net Zero home has been designed to challenge conventional thinking when building a home. It will make people think more carefully about how a home is conceptualised and built. The house has been designed so that it virtually has no bills for electricity or water because costs have been controlled by the design and materials used in its construction.”
“As water and electricity costs continue to escalate, people are looking for ways to reduce these expenses. The Net Zero home provides some clever yet practical examples of how to do this through a smaller sized dwelling with smart design features. This combination ultimately puts more dollars back into the pockets of home owners.”
“The Eco-Living Display Homes project has been an invaluable lesson is assessing how we can help home owners and the building industry become smarter when constructing homes to support the environment. People are becoming increasingly aware of their impact on their surroundings, but are not quite sure where to start to reduce their environmental footprint. This project has provided a great starting point. Home owners also need to understand that there are many cost effective sustainable products on the market now, they simply need to ask about them,” he added.
