We are a building design and construction company based in Adelaide, South Australia with a passion for sustainability and a focus on passive design. Our aim is to produce beautiful modern homes that have a minimal impact on the environment with a focus on quality finishes and attention to detail.
WORKING TOWARDS A GREENER FUTURE
At Adelaide Sustainable, we see the importance of building a sustainable future.
By incorporating passive design techniques and specifying renewable and/or more sustainable construction materials for our designs, we are able to produce homes that have an increased thermal performance and a lesser impact on the environment. By extension, homes that are energy efficient also lead to a reduction in energy bills, so your home doesn’t cost you or the earth.
SUPPORTING THE AUSTRALIAN CONSERVATION FOUNDATION TO CREATE A GREENER WORLD.
We donate 1% of our fee from every project to the Australian Conservation Foundation to increase the sustainability of our business and assist in the protection of the natural world.
PASSIVE DESIGN PRINCIPLES
Thinking about energy and water consumption during the planning phase of a building project is the easiest and most cost effective way to reduce your electricity and water bills in the future. By incorporating passive design principles and making sustainable choices you can help reduce your carbon footprint and help make a positive change to the Australian building industry.
By implementing the passive design techniques below, we are able to increase the energy efficiency and thermal performance of your home, using the same conventional building materials most commonly used throughout Australia.
Our techniques include:
designing for climate;
correctly orientating your building;
using appropriate shading to passively heat and cool your building;
sealing your home;
appropriately insulating;
appropriately positioning thermal mass elements; and
