Baron Street is set to introduce a groundbreaking unit development, marking a potential first for Tasmania with its planned certified Passive House units aimed at achieving net zero energy use. This visionary project encapsulates our commitment to sustainable, energy-efficient living, setting new standards for residential construction.
Upcoming Features
- Passive House Certification: Targeting certification for two units, these homes are designed to operate with net zero energy use, representing a significant leap towards sustainable living.
- Solar Energy Integration: These units are equipped with solar panels to harness renewable energy, complementing their net zero goals.
- Efficient Hot Water Systems: Incorporating a heat pump hot water system that prioritises energy efficiency without compromising on comfort.
- Eco-Friendly Appliances: Commitment to using energy-efficient appliances, reducing overall energy consumption while maintaining modern conveniences.
- Healthy and Sustainable Cladding: We are planning to use Weathertex Weathergroove cladding with a charred black stain, offering a healthier alternative that mimics the aesthetic of Shou Sugi Ban timber.
- Innovative Brick Use: Utilising low carbon bricks.
- Advanced Window Solutions: Implementing triple-glazed uPVC Aliclad windows from Unilux for superior insulation and to prevent thermal bridging.
- Optimised Insulation and Airtightness: To enhance the units’ thermal efficiency, an internal airtight layer with a service cavity was designed alongside high insulation levels in the slab, walls, and ceiling.
- Rigorous Testing: Planning for blower door tests at pre-plaster and completion stages to ensure airtightness and energy efficiency.
Baron Street is not just a development; it’s a forward-thinking approach to living spaces that are as considerate of the environment as they are of the residents’ comfort and lifestyle.
