Home SustainabilityAustralian households are directly responsible for about 20% of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. Many households could significantly reduce their energy and water consumption with a modest investment of time and money.

Solar PowerGrid-connected rooftop solar power systems have revolutionised the way electricity is produced in Australia. A new solar power system can be a great investment but the lower price paid for power fed back to the grid means more care is needed with the design to ensure the installation provides a good return on the investment. Ecological Design is independent as we do not sell any product and receive no commissions. Our assessments offer clear advice about the choice and design of a solar power system best suited to your needs.

Home Energy RatingA NatHERS home energy rating can be used to satisfy the Thermal Comfort section of BASIX or the BCA. NatHERS, the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme sets out how the assessments of home designs are to be conducted. Our Home Energy Rating service provides more than just a rating. We give detailed feedback and advice to ensure the most sustainable design is achieved which is both buildable and affordable.

BASIX CertificateBASIX is the NSW legislation setting minimum standards for energy and water efficiency for new homes as well as alterations and additions. A BASIX certificate is prepared by creating an online project and entering the design details relating to energy and water use. Architects and designers make use of our knowledge and experience to prepare and optimise the BASIX for their projects.
