Building an Energy-Efficient House
Energy-efficient home designs have become increasingly popular over the years as people and governments become more aware of the impact their homes have on the environment. Energy-efficient building practices are often mandatory under specific laws and regulations in Australia, making it necessary to build homes that meet the necessary standards and requirements. These national standards for energy-efficient house designs mean every new home is equipped with a cost-effective and sustainable solution for a range of common household requirements like heating and cooling your home.
Any energy-efficient design considers three main factors: orientation, insulation, and ventilation. These factors are known as passive design and work in harmony with the environment and climate to maintain a comfortable temperature inside your home. According to Your Home, an independent guide to energy-efficient house design, “a passively designed home can deliver a lifetime of thermal comfort, low energy bills, and low greenhouse gas emissions.”
Benson Building & Construction has been working on smaller, more solar-passive designs over the last few months to meet the ever-changing climate and BASIX Requirements. To ensure our modern home designs comply with energy-efficient standards, we source materials from companies that commit to the sustainability of their industries. As a whole, BBH works closely with our clients to understand their needs to ensure we are eco-friendly while maintaining their needs and budget.
