Harrowfield - A TRUE PASSIVE HOME + INCOME

Description

Do you want to live in a warm dry house that warms and cools itself with minimum energy input? Then try this one 1A Harrowfield Drive, with a whole heap of eco credentials.

This one's a Passive House which is an internationally recognised building standard that delivers a building which requires very little energy for space heating or cooling and has very high standards of wall, floor and ceiling insulation. Passive Houses have been adopted in more than 60 countries around the world with far greater extremes of climate than New Zealand. The result is a home that provides a warm and comfortable living environment all year round. The temperature is even throughout the home and operates typically between 20 and 25 degrees and consume between 75%-90% less heating energy than a conventional house.

You don't even need to open the windows and doors because the ventilation system provides high quality air inside the house, the windows in the main house are equivalent to triple glazing and the apartment has double glazing.

This home also has 16 solar panels to offset your power bill, you can even sell the excess power back to your electrical retailer. It also collects its own water off the roof into a 22 000 litre underground tank just like we used to do before reticulated water came in (with 2 sets of filters).

Better still, this house also processes its storm/waste water using a worm farm (Tiger worms) A 3 tank system which then fertilises the section boundary to feed the trees and gardens. These systems are used on many sustainable properties within New Zealand. Contact Mike or Chase to arrange a private viewing.
