About this Event
Do you want to live in the eco-home of your dreams but have no idea where to start? Well then this workshop is for you!
This workshop will explain how to design a energy efficient home and is perfect for anyone who is planning to build or renovate.
We understand that building your home is overwhelming and you want to get it right from the start. Let us take some of the confusion away by helping you understand the importance of energy efficient design and how to achieve this in your building plans.
Through this workshop, you will gain insights on what passive solar design is and how to achieve it through your home building plans, listening to expert advice on the matter to help plan your build.
You will learn the benefits of incorporating energy efficiency in the design at the planning and building stages and how this pays off in cheaper power bills and increased home comfortability. A win win!
