ADDITIONAL ECO FRIENDLY, AND SUSTAINABLE BENEFITS:
• The insulation is rated 8 which makes the house very comfortable to live in without air conditioning. It works best if the house is closed before dark in winter. In summer the louvres remain open (Crimsafe installed) and the three outdoor fans on to circulate the air. Windows are tinted which also assists to keep the home cool. There are screens on the south, east and west windows upstairs for sun protection. The trees do their bit as well. The owners have never used a heater in this house and only occasionally use a pedestal fan in the bedroom on the hottest days of summer.
• 2 x 23,000 litre water tanks. 1 house and 1 garden. If the house tank runs dry town water will kick in automatically although the garden tank can be pumped to the house tank if preferred. Both tanks have first flush diverters, and the house tank is filtered for sediment at the tank and triple filtered through the drinking tap in the kitchen.
• All gutters on the house are enclosed with stainless steel mesh which also assists to keep the water clean as well as doing its real job of keeping the gutters clear.
• Floor coverings are all commercial as the owner’s preference is for sustainability. The granite retaining wall was chosen for the same reason.
• Visitors to the yard include a variety of birdlife (tawny frogmouths, magpies, currawongs, butcher birds, blue faced honeyeaters, rainbow lorikeets) and lizards (skinks, blue tongues, water dragons). The pond is home to a large colony of striped marsh frogs and some tusked frogs.
