A zero energy house is achievable in most climates. Using the right design for the climate and location as well as choosing the appropriate building materials we can design a house that is comfortable all year round without extra energy need for heating or cooling.

SOLAR VOLTAIC & SOLAR HOT WATER SYSTEMS |
|
Additional to the use of passive solar energy in the design we can incorporate solar electric & hot water collectors into the design of a building. Apart from the usual roof collectors there are invisible systems available now. The actual roofing sheet, a glass wall or wall cladding as well as shade panels can become power generators and make your building completely self sufficient. Solar hot water can be stored and used not only in kitchen and bathroom but to heat all of your house in the cooler part of the year.

— IF ALL DOMESTIC BUILDINGS IN AUSTRALIA WOULD USE THE ROOF AREA TO COLLECT WATER AND SOLAR ENERGY THERE WOULD BE NO NEED FOR POLLUTING POWER STATIONS NOR NEW DAMS TO ENSURE WATER SUPPLY — |
