Sustainability




Did you know that lighting is responsible for up to 10% of the average family's electricity bills? Or that Electricity accounts for 53% of the energy used in Australian households, but creates around 87% of the greenhouse gas emissions because most electricity is generated by burning fossil fuels? It sounds simple but small adjustments to the way a home is built can amount to significant cost-savings in the long run!
