Notes from the owners.
Climate change is clearly evident in Australia, think horrific and more frequent fires and floods, both here and in the rest of the world. There are a number of aspects this house contributes towards turning back climate change.
The location of the house is in a denser urban area where there has been backfilling of unused backyards with apartments. This location helps prevent urban sprawl onto rich farmlands surrounding Hobart. It also offers people a shorter commute into the city on public transport, reducing air pollution which is a significant contributor to climate change. The location offers very easy walking distances to key shopping services like supermarkets, pharmacys, newsagents, bottle shops, hair dressers, doctors surgeries, cafes and restaurants. Walking reduces air pollution and promotes a healthy lifestyle through exercise and offers more opportunities to engage with other community members, making for a safer community.
The house uses a less carbon producing source of energy, namely solar energy. In fact the house produces so much solar energy that the account is always in credit, currently above $1600. The house also has a heat recovery system moving heat from the ceiling into the house on cooler days as well as moving heat from the kitchen to the bathroom and bedrooms during cold weather.
The installation of extra insulation in the ceiling, now rated at 7.5 and underfloor insulation rated at 3.5 has reduced the amount of energy the house uses for heating and cooling.
Double glazing also reduces the amount of energy needed to heat or cooling the home.
The owners have recently installed a new dishwasher which uses less energy and water than older models. It’s also runs very quietly.
The old gas cooktop has been replaced by a much more energy efficient AEG induction cooktop. Not only does it produce less carbon emissions but it is also cooks much quicker and it is easier to clean. More importantly it is safer to use without flames or lingering high temperatures on the surface.
A new NEFF electric oven was installed last October along with the cooktop. It too uses less energy and offers a far greater range of cooking options, including remote control through an app. You can turn it on and off to your desired settings from wherever you are, enabling food to be ready for whoever is home at any given time.
Carpets not only have traditional thick underlay but a rubber product under the underlay to further insulate the bedrooms.
These energy saving features all add up to a reduced carbon footprint on the environment, therefore reducing carbon emissions and impacts on climate change. Another very nice aspect of these energy saving features is money saved on energy costs.
