A 5 Star Energy Rating on ALL Component Homes Makes Them Really Eco-Friendly
5 Star is the new standard in energy efficiency for houses and is now required under the Building Code of Australia for all new homes.
Every Component Home not only meets this energy standard, but in most cases our homes exceed it.
Component Homes uses state of the art precision roll-forming technology, that ensures material waste is kept to a minimum during the manufacturing process. Contrast this with the energy consumed and waste created by conventional building methods. This not only saves natural resources but also minimises land-fill.
Steel is 100% recyclable. Currently 60% of all steel used in Australia is made from recycled steel. To put steel framing into perspective, an average house frame is equal to recycling around 6 cars, while the use of a timber frame can consume around 40 to 50 trees.
Component Homes actively promotes the utilisation of solar efficient design in each home we produce. This means your home works for you, keeping you cooler in summer and warmer in winter. ‘Solar passive’ design not only saves you money on your heating and cooling bills, but promotes less energy use in the home, a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions in Australia.
Component Homes can offer advice on how your home can become greener, though the installationof water tanks, solar hot water systems, active venting and other innovations that support energy and water efficiency in the home.
