CASE STUDIES

Make Your Home Green case studies present diverse real life examples of what are currently some of the best sustainable homes, not only in Victoria but around Australia. Case studies provide examples of how sustainable homes are healthier to live in than many conventional homes.

This house, known as the Ecohome, was designed to be a resource efficient, low allergy home for a family of two adults and three children, incorporating good passive solar design, active solar systems, rain water and grey water re-use, and a high level of indoor air quality.

The conventional construction methods used in the EcoHome make this type of building system readily replicable. The low-tech approach encourages occupants to understand how the building systems operate and work with them.
