Stunning designs, healthy environments, warm and comfortable homes, which can cost virtually nothing to heat, are all part of the Energy Efficient Homes Ltd (EEH) minimum standards.
In today’s world of upwardly spiralling costs to heat a family home, it makes common sense to optimise any new home for minimum energy requirements, without compromising lifestyle, or comfort. Energy Efficient Homes Limited (EEH) has accomplished exactly that, using tried and proven yet stunning designs and engineering principles “borrowed” from Canada . The result is a warm, healthy, comfortable home year round that can cost nothing in heating costs over the lifetime of the home.
There are over 160 eye-catching home designs on the web site. EEH customises virtually all plans, in house, and can modify your own existing design, to EEH stringent standards if you wish.
WARM HEALTHY HOMES
WARM HOMES : A warm home is a healthy home, a happy home, a comfortable home. And, with only nominal heating costs, you reap the financial rewards of forward thinking, for years to come.
HYPOALLERGENIC : NZ has one of the worst records in the industrialised world for things like Asthma and allergies. Most of this can be attributed living in an environment where most of the home cold soaks in winter, (Heating only occupied rooms) allowing accelerated growth of mould mildew and dust mites. These nasties migrate throughout the house, even when doors are closed. EEH optionally offers homes targeted to individual allergy needs, effectively building a hypoallergenic home. All models can be engineered this way.
All EEH homes:
- Feature a custom mix of open plan and or outdoor living.
- Feature R3+ SuperInsulation in the walls and R5+ SuperInsulation in ceilings
- Feature hi-tech window joinery with double glazing, double seals, and optional Argon or LowE 2
