Frequently asked questions
What makes an eco-friendly display home different from a standard one?
Eco-friendly display homes are built with sustainability and energy efficiency in mind. They use passive solar design, high-insulation materials, and energy-efficient systems to reduce operating costs and environmental impact. To see what sustainability means in practice, you can visit our eco displays in West Melbourne, such as our Alamora estate.
Can I get a loan that rewards building an energy-efficient home?
Yes, green home loans can offer lower interest rates and incentives if your home meets energy-efficiency criteria. Our design standards, like a seven-star NatHERS rating and other sustainable inclusions, often meet or exceed what lenders look for. For more on how financial products support eco-friendly design, see our guide about green home loans for details on eligibility, financial benefits, and how these loans can help with sustainable home building.
Are eco-friendly display homes always more expensive to build?
While some eco upgrades can add to upfront costs (e.g. premium insulation, passive design, solar), these are often offset by lower energy bills and better long-term performance. Our eco display homes are designed to provide comfort and cost savings over time, and many sustainable features are standard or available as affordable upgrades.
What energy ratings or certifications do your display homes achieve?
Our eco display homes are designed to meet or exceed current energy efficiency standards in Victoria. Many achieve high Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) ratings, plus passive design features. Where possible, we include solar-ready fixtures, efficient heating/cooling systems, and high insulation levels to ensure comfort across seasons with lower energy usage.
How can I make my home more energy efficient in the long term?
Apart from sustainable design, how you live in the home makes a difference. Using appliances efficiently is a big lever, washing in cold water, running full loads, using energy-efficient settings, and turning off standby power. To get more tips, check out our blog on how to run your appliances more efficiently, which outlines small daily habits that reduce energy usage and costs.
What sustainable features should I look for in eco display homes?
Look for features like passive solar orientation, high-grade insulation, energy-efficient glazing and windows, natural ventilation and LED lighting. Also check for materials that use low-VOC finishes and sustainable sourcing. These features contribute to lower energy bills and a healthier home environment.
