Quite apart from resulting in a home that is comfortable to live in, the inclusion of products and systems that are energy-efficient offers homeowners considerable ongoing savings.
For each project it works on, Right House provides a customised solution, so for this home spectacular south-facing views of the lake had to be maximised and allowed for in the design. By modelling the thermal mass of the building and providing additional insulation, any heat loss through the south-facing glazing was offset.
In addition to these passive systems, upgraded Pink Batts, even on internal walls, double-glazed joinery, solar hot water, heat pumps and gas heating were also incorporated.
Right House is an expert in home energy design, technologies, products and systems. The company recommends, sells and installs energy-efficient solutions that are right for you, your home and your budget. A Right House integrated solution provides you with maximum comfort and value for minimum cost, says national sales manager Clint Jones.
