8 Star Homes Coming Fast
Australian housing developer, AV Jennings hopes to deliver 8-star energy efficient homes within just two months by embracing new technology. CEO, Phil Kearns, says its joint venture with tech innovator Pro9, means it will introduce its energy efficient walling system in Australia in March next year, cutting down build times substantially. “For us, certainly in the short term, we’ll still do some traditional construction methods. Potentially over time, we could do 100% of our homes under this format,” Kearns says. “So far, the results that we’ve had across Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne have been exceptional.
Kearns says they have combined their knowledge on how to build with their knowledge and technological innovation around the materials to bring together a really good housing solution. “One of the by-products of looking at the whole prefab area was the fact that the materials used and the way the house is put together creates a very sustainable energy efficient result.”
