Energy Efficient House Designs In Australia

What is Energy Efficiency

Energy efficiency refers to the effectiveness of a building's ability to influence, control and facilitate user control over the movement of heat energy within a building and between the building and its surroundings.

Energy efficient house designs can be generated using thermal performance assessment techniques. Building thermal performance is the assessment or rating of a building's ability to create internal conditions that are comfortable for the occupants, with a minimum of mechanical input.
