2018 HIA–LAWN SOLUTIONS AUSTRALIAN GREENSMART AWARDS FINALIST:SIPS Industries Australia and Chalk Build (Western Australia) 2AUSTRALIAN GREENSMART 2 RENOVATION/ADDITION WINNER: PROJECT LIVING GREEN DESIGNER This beachy blonde beauty has been in the HOMES family for 50 years, but a renovation and HUNTER addition to the rear has been a big upgrade in comfort and energy-eciency. The owners planned to replace their much-loved home with a new, energy-ecient model with low VOC and low electromagnetic fields. Instead, the foundations and timber frame remain, with additions at the back. A polished home with year-round comfort is the result, created with attention to breezes, insulation, water tanks, low-e glass, solar-passive design principles and extended eaves. www.livinggreendesignerhomes.com.au 3 WINNER: 360 BUILDING SOLUTIONS & LIGHT HOUSE ARCHITECTURE AND SCIENCE ACT & SOUTHERN NSW 3AUSTRALIAN GREENSMART SUSTAINABLE HOME This project used the latest sustainable technologies and smart building practices, while sophisticated testing and data collection actively measure the eectiveness of the approach.
