At House of Stars, we believe that living in natural comfort should be one of the most serious considerations when building, designing or buying an existing home.
If you think Good Design is Expensive, You should Look at the Cost of Bad Design
Like an efficiency rating on a washing machine, fridge or dishwasher; House of Stars can Star Rate the Energy Efficiency of your Proposed Building Design.
In Canberra and New Zealand where Star Ratings are to be disclosed at time of advertising for sale or lease, higher rated properties are achieving higher sales figures than than of the same lower star rated property.
Since mid 2006 Energy Efficiency regulations have been adapted to the designs of all newly constructed homes with majority of these homes having been energy rated prior to council approval. Council Currently requires all new homes and renovations to achieve a minimum of a 6.0 Star Energy Equivilant Rating for Building approval.Not only will a home which is more energy efficient be worth more, a higher rated tenanted property will return more to the investor.
No more rule of thumb, using the latest software technology, House of Stars calculate how much energy is required to both artificially heat & cool your home to maintain all year round comfort. Whilst giving a total Heating and Cooling Capacity on existing design and criteria, we can simulate the benefits of adding or increasing shading or tinting to various glazing, or adding various ceiling insulations, ceiling fans and roof ventilation systems. House of Stars- buyer beware “fear no more”- for we can offer you unbiast scientific calculations on exactly to what degree these investments can impact the efficiency of your current design.
We have spent two decades in the field where possible solving issues with poorly designed or under insulated homes and giving recommendations to existing home owners/renters, builders, certifiers and architects alike, recommending various products to assist in increasing ones comfort within existing & new homes.
