Creature comforts catered for
A lot of thought went into the sustainability
and function of this home and it is close to a 10-star rated eco-home. Along the front face of the home is a sunlighttrap of double glazed windows. And array of
windows encourages light and heat into the
home. Once there, the heat is kept in place
by double insulation in the ceiling cavity. When
the sun fades, and Timaru is in the midst of
winter, diesel-powered underfloor heating
works with radiators to keep this a t-shirt and
shorts environment.
