Building smarter homes
Building an energy efficient home means more than installing the right appliances or adding a rainwater tank. At Rossdale Homes, the goal of building energy efficient homes is in our DNA.
It shapes the design and construction process, from site orientation to solar panels, and works its way into every conversation, whether you’re talking to our Building Consultants or one of our Contractors.
Not surprisingly, Rossdale Homes was chosen as the dominant builder for Australia’s first 7.5 star energy efficiency new home village – the highly acclaimed Lochiel Park development at Campbelltown. And we apply the same passion and principles to every one of our homes.
Experts in energy efficiency – and here’s proof
Each of Rossdale’s Building Consultants is HIA Greensmart Accredited. Sure, it sounds impressive – but what does it actually mean to you? Well, it means that you’re talking to an expert in energy efficiency. Someone passionate about reducing power bills, which is great news for you. If you’d like to talk to one of our consultants, and ask them some questions about how they can save you energy, just call or email us anytime.
