SEE-Change members are being given an opportunity to have a ‘sneak peek’ at the new Energy Efficient Demonstration Home in the Ginninderry Display Village, Strathnairn, before it opens to the public on Saturday 6 June 2022. 

This demonstration home explains and shows visitors firsthand what they should look for to easily achieve a more energy efficient and sustainable home, that is more comfortable to live in and cheaper to run. It includes a range of sustainability features, such as:

• Passive solar design to an 8 star rating under NatHERS

• Double and triple glazed thermally broken aluminium windows

• Sustainable materials, e.g. compressed timber cladding, Australian and recycled timbers

• Good draft sealing and insulation

• No downlights

• A grass driveway

• A green roof studio office

• And much more…

This project has been developed by Paul Nagle from Commonsense Sustainability Solutions and Jodie Pipkorn, a long time SEE-Change member, with education materials developed in collaboration with SEE-Change. The Your New Home Buyer’s Guide, Wrapping and sealing your building video series and a soon to be released How to construct a green roof video series were developed to complement this home.

If you would like to take up this ‘sneak peek’ opportunity, please register for one of the timeslots on offer, noting tour sizes are capped.

Please do not attend if you are unwell or have been in contact with someone who has tested positive to COVID-19. Wearing a face mask is welcomed.
