PREPARATIONS are in full swing for this year’s Sustainable House Day with a rare 10-star home headlining the houses on offer for residents to visit.<\/p>\n

Geelong Sustainability will run a series of events taking place throughout October in the leadup to Sustainable House Day on October 26, while eight green-efficient homes are on the docket for residents to visit.<\/p>\n

As part of the program, residents can attend a seminar, industry breakfast and webinars, with the month showcasing how sustainable living can be achieved.<\/p>\n

Geelong Sustainability chief executive officer Dan Cowdell said the month was a highlight on the calendar.<\/p>\n

“This year we’re excited to be showcasing a brand new, 10-star energy rated home,” Mr Cowdell said.<\/p>\n

“With only a small number of 10-star homes in Australia, this is a rare opportunity to see first-hand what goes into a build of this standard.<\/p>\n

“As well as this special home, we have a great cross-section of homes on display including innovative Passivhaus designs, inspiring retrofits and renovations, all-electric, and a pre-retrofit home for those interested in understanding energy audits and sustainable home improvement options.”<\/p>\n

The Sustainable House Day Seminar will be held on October 12 at the Geelong Library and Heritage Centre, where an online sustainable design assessment tool named MOTIIVES will be launched.<\/p>\n

The industry breakfast will take place on October 17 at Deakin University’s Waterfront Campus, featuring keynote speaker and leading sustainable building expert Brendan Condon.<\/p>\n

Before Sustainable House Day, energy efficiency expert Tim Forcey will host a webinar on October 22 to discuss practical strategies to reduce home energy consumption.<\/p>\n

Sustainable House Day will run from 10am to 5pm.<\/p>\n

“I’d encourage you to head to the website to read about the homes being showcased this year,” Mr Cowdell said.<\/p>\n

“They are a good example of what can be accomplished. With experts on hand to show you around, you’re guaranteed to learn and be inspired.”<\/p>\n
