At Strength Group, we value our environment and believe that when designing and building your dream home, it does not have to come at the expense of our natural environment.
Sustainable housing considers the design, construction, and operation of your house over its lifetime in three contexts:
All the bespoke homes we design and build are developed to maximise all three categories of sustainability. Throughout each and every project, we meticulously select every product or material to ensure we live up to our sustainability beliefs and values. At Strength Group, we believe in incorporating the following in our designs and builds where feasible such as:
Passive design is key
‘Passive design’ is design that takes advantage of the climate to maintain a comfortable temperature range in the home. Passive design reduces or eliminates the need for auxiliary heating or cooling, which accounts for about 40% (or much more in some climates) of energy use in the average Australian home.
Letting in sun and cooling breezes can be reached by orientating a building approximately and carefully designing the roof, walls, windows, and floors of the building, otherwise known as the building’s envelope.
Ultimately save money and the environment
When people think of home design and build coming into hand and hand with sustainability, they automatically think ‘too expensive’ and see this practise in a negative way, as they hold a belief that it must come with a hefty price tag. However, when designing and building your home with Strength Group, this is not the case. Through our innovative design and construction processes, use of technology and materials we can assist our clients to save an extraordinary amount of money in the long-term, as we eliminate the need for exorbitant spending on both the heating and cooling of your dream home.
