A sustainable residential design in Leongatha, VIC, featuring natural materials, exceptional solar control for hot summers, superior insulation for cold winters, and abundant natural light to enhance open living spaces and breathtaking views.
When owners Mark and Lauren envisioned a home utilising natural materials with a connection to the outside surroundings, the large north facing outlook required a high performing solution to meet design and energy requirements.
The local climate of Leongatha, Victoria, meant that significant solar control was required for the 40°C summers (very low SHGC required) and excellent insulation was needed for the colder months (very low U-Value required).
The brief also called for high levels of natural light to illuminate the open plan living areas and maximise the stunning views.
Insulglass LowE Max® was the ideal solution – a high performance softcoat LowE coating inside a double glazed unit filled with argon gas. Large units could be achieved without compromising performance and the use of sliding doors achieves their favoured indoor-outdoor lifestyle. A by-product benefit also being 93% protection of harmful fading factor ultraviolet rays (UV) to help protect the light colours of furniture and use of natural timber inside.
Mark and Lauren’s home is quoted as “so comfortable”. The performance characteristics are most appreciated at night and early morning with their heating system now hardly used, utilising energy efficiency and keeping energy costs down.
