The Minns Labor Government has unveiled a new net zero display home which is making sustainability accessible and showing households how they can save on their energy bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The display home delivered by the NSW Government\u2019s property and land developer Landcom, in partnership with McDonald Jones Homes, can generate as much or more energy than an average household consumes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Designed for everyday families, it\u2019s estimated the net zero home could save the average household up to $1,700 a year in bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Panorama Net Zero Home is part of Landcom\u2019s sustainable 6 Star Green Star certified \u2018Panorama\u2019 development at North Wilton and will be open to the public from Saturday 14 February.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Visitors to the display home can get a practical, hands-on look at technologies, design and construction materials that can be used for new or existing homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The home has been awarded some of the highest certifications in NSW including BASIX 100 Energy score, a Green Star Homes certification from the Green Building Council of Australia, and a leading 8.7 Star NatHERS rating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can be delivered by the industry at scale and can help cut the cost of living by lowering water and energy bills with a potential saving of around $1,700 every year for homeowners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIncreasingly people are interested in the choices that might be available to them to build and live more sustainably while reducing their bills. This display home will help to remove some of the mystery about available technologies and how they can be used in new and existing homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI encourage both current and prospective homeowners to come check out the display home to get inspiration and advice for how they can make their existing or new build home more sustainable and cheaper to live in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Landcom CEO Alex Wendler said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAt Panorama, we\u2019re making homes happen and leading the way in delivering more sustainable, resilient and healthier homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe\u2019re demonstrating what\u2019s possible with off-the-shelf technology and encourage the industry to make this the new normal in housing delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLandcom\u2019s Panorama development is a fitting home for this innovation, where we\u2019re unlocking up to 5,600 homes centred around sustainable living.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n McDonald Jones Homes CEO Rob Douglas said:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWorking on this project has provided our team with insights into what sustainable materials are available from across our supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe plan to use this knowledge to explore opportunities that could be delivered at scale not only across our NSW business but nationally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cMcDonald Jones has found this project to be of great value for our business, and I encourage people interested in sustainable design practices to visit the home and see what is possible.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Minns Labor Government has unveiled a new net zero display home which is making sustainability accessible and showing households how they can save on their energy bills.
