Northern Building & Carpentry Offers Multiple Options for Green Homes

There’s a lot of misunderstandings surrounding green home building. A green home doesn’t mean living in a below-ground house and using dirt as an insulator. Sustainable building practices focus on energy and water efficiency, along with conservation of resources. Northern Building & Carpentry is a leader in green building techniques.

That expertise enables Northern Building & Carpentry to also provide energy efficient renovations for period homes without affecting the original architecture or cosmetic finishes. The builders construct new homes, restore older dwellings, and provide renovations and additions.

The green home builders Melbourne have a variety of methods and technologies that can be incorporated into homes. Depending on the home and the desires of the client, individuals can take advantage of renewable options ranging from wind, solar and geothermal to hydroelectric, heat pumps and even waves. Clients can take advantage of roof plantings that reduce costs, greywater plumbing systems and electrochromic glass that reacts to UV rays.

The National Construction Code requires all new homes to meet minimum requirement of a 6-star energy rating. The energy efficient home builders Melbourne can employ innovative design, ventilation, and insulation to achieve energy efficiency. Ceiling fans, along with specially designed energy efficient doors, windows and lighting can be used, and roof coatings are available that reflect heat.

As leading passive house builders Australia, Northern Building and Carpentry uses methods that minimizes the impact on the environment, resulting in homes that require little energy for heating, cooling and water heating. Passive building creates homes that are more airtight. Less heated or cooled air is lost from the interior and it prevents infiltration by outdoor air.

Bill Arwas, owner of Northern Building & Carpentry, has been constructing energy-efficient homes and retro-fitting existing structures for more than a decade. The company continually explores and researches new ways to deliver the most energy efficient methods to accommodate the individual needs of each client, while minimizing environmental impact.
