Green tips from HIA Sydney Home Show



WaterSmart generic
You do not have to rebuild your house or swap your straightener for dreaddies to start energy and water saving around the home. The Housing industry Association Sydney Home Show has recognised the importance for home-owners, renters and builders to have access to information and products that assist them to become water and energy savers. It is amazing how easy it can be. 

  • Be a water saver by installing water efficient tapware, roses and toilets, and design your garden to be water efficient
  • Brighten up around the home by installing energy efficient light bulbs (compact fluorescents or light emitting diodes [LED]) – they are affordable and increasingly available in different designs and styles
  • A high level of installation reduces the energy required to heat or cool the house. Keep this in mind when it is time to replace your installation
  • If you are building a house, position it on the block so that it optimises the sun in winter for passive heating. Visit the GreenSmart Building Zone at the HIA Sydney Home Show for further environmentally friendly solutions and practices for energy efficiency, waste and water management in design, restoration and building projects
  • Research, research, research. There are a lot of products and services on the market that can improve your home’s energy efficiency. Green Smart products at the HIA Sydney Home Show are identified with a green marker, while furthertips and information can be found at the HIA GreenSmart Building Zone, Water Smart Display and the Sustainable Living Stage
