Australia's First Zero-Emission House
The AusZEH Demonstration House is a 4-bedroom detached home that aims to deliver a residential home with a net zero carbon footprint. It achieves this through a combination of energy efficient design and building practices, on-site renewable energy supply and an advanced energy monitoring and management system.
Our own Nuala Hafner took a walk through the house today discovering some very cool features set to appear in all new houses in the future.
Zero emission houses cannot be achieved solely through improvement of individual building components (e.g. windows, appliances, heating and cooling equipment, lighting).
Also needed is a revolutionary approach to building design and operation that can achieve 70%-80% reductions in energy demand, coupled with careful integration with on-site renewable energy supplies and thermal and electrical storage. An affordable ZEH also requires cost optimisation of these technologies and systems.
