Building a high-performance home for a sustainable future

In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword: it’s a necessity.

One of the most effective ways to reduce your carbon footprint while enhancing comfort and reducing costs is by investing in a high-performance home.

A high-performance Live Green Home can reduce energy consumption by up to 60 per cent compared to homes built to existing Victorian standards. These homes are designed to offer superior energy efficiency, enhance the health and comfort of the occupants, and boast greater longevity. What’s more, they can be more affordable than people might think.

Key features for a high-performance home

PVC Double Glazed Windows and Doors are essential for achieving thermal efficiency.

Not only are they 100 per cent recyclable and low maintenance, but they also offer exceptional insulation properties that reduce heat transfer and minimise condensation.

PVC windows and doors are incredibly durable, able to withstand high winds, salt air, and extreme weather conditions—making them ideal for Australian coastal regions. They come in a variety of styles and finishes, allowing homeowners to choose from white, grey, black, or timber-look designs to match their aesthetic.

Pro Clima Wrap is another integral component of a high-performance home. This weather-resistant material helps protect homes from fluctuating environmental conditions during construction and promoting moisture management. Its breathability allows trapped moisture to escape, reducing the risk of mould and condensation.

140mm Stud Walls provide ample space for superior insulation, ensuring a warmer, more comfortable home with reduced heating and cooling costs. These walls also allow for easier installation of high-performance systems such as Mechanical Heat Recovery Ventilation (MHRV), which helps manage indoor air quality by continuously replacing stale air with fresh, filtered air. MHRV systems regulate humidity, reduce mould growth, and offer significant energy savings, all while creating a healthier indoor environment. Building with Live Green Homes
