Solar hot water ecosmart

Endibrook has incorprated the use of a solar hot water system in this development. EcoSmart™ is 100% Australian owned solar hot water company. Hot water systems prove you with an environmentally friendly hot water solution, that will reduce your hot water energy consumption by up to 80%.

  • So smart it pays for itself
    Switching to solar hot water can save you a lot of money. Did you know electric hot water systems use more power than any other household appliance? On average they can account for between 35-40% of total electricity costs. Quite a sum when you consider the average Australian home spends $1500 a year on electricity.
  • There is a smarter alternative
    Depending on your home's location and water consumption, an EcoSmart™ Solar Hot Water System has the potential to reduce water heating costs by up to 80%. Based on a family of four living in Sydney or Brisbane that's an impressive saving of around $4000 over ten years!
  • Here's another incentive
    The Federal Government offers a Renewable Energy Certificate (REC) incentive to homes that convert to solar hot water. The more energy efficient the system, the greater the incentive. If you install an EcoSmart™ Solar Hot Water System, you may be entitled to a REC incentive of up to $1,152*.

Comfortable home

Create a comfortable living environment through paying special attention to orientation, insulation, ventilation and shading.

Any style of home can be designed for energy efficiency, so why not ask your builder or designer to include the features outlined - not only will you save on future energy costs, you'll also help to make your mark for the environment.

Endibrook has used the following features to make this development energy efficient:

  • Building orientation
  • Internal room layout
  • Window placement, sizing and shading
  • Use of insulation
  • Ventilation

Design elements for comfort:

  • Orientation:
    North facing living areas provides the best climatic solution to ensure shade in summer and sunlight in winter. By achieving climatic control naturally, Energy consumption will be minimized and will provide great financial benefits over time.
  • Natural Ventilation:
    Large sliding doors to living areas not only creates a feeling of space and a visual connection of internal and external areas, it also provides the opportunity for maximum natural cross ventilation and reduces the need for air conditioning. The ventilated timber deck will enhance natural air flow to provide natural cooling. Bedrooms facing South and East can also rely on natural ventilation for most of the year.
  • Privacy:
    Despite the open plan layout and large glass areas, privacy is maintained effectively with the general orientation away from the street. Windows facing the street are limited but provide essential cross ventilation and enhanced security with visual surveillance of the street.
  • Flexibility:
    Living areas echoed externally, effectively double the living space and enhances entertainment opportunities. The diversity of internal and external spaces further provide alternative choices to cater for a variety of climatic conditions and provide an opportunity for diversified layouts.
  • Zoning:
    With the kitchen directly connected to internal and external spaces, interaction will be optimized to create a very liveable space. Bedrooms are combined in the private zone of the home. The direct connection of the main bedroom en suite will reduce congestion in the general bathroom of the house.
  • Building Fabric:
    The use of low thermal capacity materials reduces the heat storage ability of the building in summer. Insulation of the building envelope will preserve heated air in winter and cooled air in summer.
