YEAR 3 Investigate the impact of resident behavior vs design on household energy use and carbon emissions.
FURTHER WORK Challenge Perceptions (Barriers) • Zero Energy Homes are expensive and impact affordability of new homes. • The market is not interested.
Mainstreaming High Performance Housing (CRCLCL RP3009e1) • Work with property developers and builders to deliver three HP ZEH display homes around Australia. • Establish an agreed construction industry position on the construction cost of HP ZEH volume market homes. • Undertake an assessment of the market potential of HP ZEH homes. • Foster heightened awareness of the accessibility (cost and capacity) and market interest of HP ZEH features.
