| Energy-efficient homes in New Zealand  Right House, New Zealand's energy efficiency solutions company, has entered into a strategic partnership with Jennian homes, New Zealand's Group Home builder. The intention is to provide customers with fully integrated comfort and energy solutions in all new homes built nationwide. Both Right House and Jennian Homes share the principle that a customised solution provides homeowners with greater satisfaction and superior long term value. Right House analyses home building plans to create a customised solution that considers the house's aspect, design, systems and products to deliver a more comfortable and energy-efficient home, whilst Jennian Homes provides New Zealanders with their own personalised home built to their specifications and needs. This new partnership is seen as a positive step in achieving sustainability within the building sector.The first Jennian Show Home to include an energy solution installed by Right House is due for completion in Nelson in July. This will be followed by the Future Proof Building Tomorrow's Showhome at Anselmi Ridge subdivision in South Auckland later in the year. With climate change, future proof building and sustainable living fast emerging as significant global trends which are influencing consumers' buying decisions and lifestyle choices, Hamish Sisson, CEO of Right House says that this partnership will collectively see both companies leading the field in providing homes that are kinder to the environment and consumers' wallets in the long term. "Right House's expert services deliver practical solutions in creating energy-efficient homes but also long term; add value to your home. Global housing trends show us that energy efficient homes do have a higher re-sale value and we see ourselves as taking steps in the right direction to deliver homeowners a home which is comfortable to live in, cost effective to run and healthier for the occupants," said Mr Sisson. Richard Carver, Director of Jennian homes said that the expertise which Right House brought was a key motivation for the partnership that matches Jennian Homes Clients' personality. "Energy efficiency is now at the forefront of both the developer's and consumer's mind, so it was important for us to partner with a company like Right House in order to be able to deliver both efficient and effective energy saving solutions, such as energy efficient lighting," says Carver. Based on the investment in the home, the Right House solution will vary. Jennian Homes are customised to their clients' specifications (personality) and therefore, will receive a tailored Right House solution to complement both the house's and the family's personal needs. "The installation of the Right House customised solution in all new homes gives our Jennian home buyers the confidence that they are not only purchasing a home of high standard but they also have the reassurance of its ongoing environmental performance," says Mr Carver. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
