Sustainably designed homes could net Australians billions

A new study by the CRC for Low Carbon Living suggests that a national, zero carbon housing standard could provide billions of dollars in benefits to Australians, as well as improve living standards, providing better health to the people living in these houses and have the added benefit of positive energy bills. A typical new home owner could expect net benefits of up to $25,000.

Specially designed homes could use less than one-third of the energy usually needed in a conventional home through the use of energy efficient lighting and appliances, solar water heaters and photovoltaic panels.
