This North Beach passive home is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and premium materials can redefine energy-efficient living. At the heart of its performance are our Kömmerling high-performance windows and doors,

Built to withstand Perth’s harsh coastal conditions, our profiles offer unbeatable durability and exceptional thermal efficiency, all while framing stunning views and optimising natural light to enhance the home's northern aspect for passive solar benefits.

Attention all residential builders, architects & designers:
Do you know what it takes to make a True Zero Carbon home?

A home that accounts for both Operational AND Embodied Carbon.
And can it be a mainstream proposition?

In our upcoming webinar on Wednesday Jan 29, Jeremy Spencer of Positive Footprints, takes us through Part 2 in his Case Study of one of their Carbon Zero builds. A house that is performing well past Net Zero and deep into carbon positive territory...
But is it True Zero?
You will need to attend to find out!

Jeremy will be sharing his insights on:
🌲 Embodied Carbon 101 & practical strategies to minimise embodied carbon on site.
🌲 Carbon accounting, and how much carbon was saved by the various initiatives in the case study home.
🌲 The practical steps, and the SBA Resources available, to minimise embodied carbon and achieve your own zero carbon homes of the future, today!

This will be a practical, information packed session, not to be missed. Did we mention it’s free? Register at the link below
