An energy efficient home is designed to use the least amount of energy required to maintain healthy and comfortable occupants year after year. By design, it is focused speccifically on occupant comfort year round.
4305 Design supports (we always aims to exceed) the targets of Australia’s National Trajectory for Low Energy Buildings.
Energy efficient design begins with passive solar design, and then goes deeper with the application of suitable insulation and shading in the correct areas, detailed selection of glazing options for the range of orientations and exposure, materials seleections and external color schemes and airtightness.
It is extermely important when designing an energy efficient home to develop a management plan for indoor air quality and condensation control both in the home itself, and also in the structural cavities. This is managed through a combination of structural design, construction detailing and smart fixtures and appliances.
