H4 Premium 6 Star+ Homes

Building codes have slowly been improving with the introduction of the ‘Star’ Rating.

Due to the lack of verification measures not required by the code, unfortunately it has been found that homes that were supposed to perform at ‘6 star level’ are only performing at half that amount, people are not actually getting what they are paying for.

The result is the mould epidemic in most cities, underperforming, too hot, too cold and continue to be energy guzzlers.

H4 Living has introduced (H4 Premium 6 Star +) building specification that is already above the ‘minimum standard requirements’, regardless of design and building budget. We don’t compromise in our standards.

H4 High Performance, Energy Efficient Homes

As the name suggests, High Performance Homes perform better, use up to less than 60% energy compared to the conventional ‘standard’, are healthier for its occupants, have fresh filtered clean air, remain super comfortable all year round, and can be more affordable than you think.

We apply similar design-build techniques and technology used in a ‘PassivHaus’ without rigorous certification.

If the price is more important than official certification, the H4 High Performance Home provides outstanding energy efficiency, health and year-round comfort comparable to a passive -certified home.

H4 Certified Passive Home (PassivHausTM ).

H4 Living is leading the way in designing & building High-Performing, ‘Passive-Certified’ homes which are healthier for occupants, amazingly comfortable, beautifully designed, and greatly reduce harmful effects on the environment through eco friendly design. Building to Passive Certified means your home is comprised of the world’s best building standard, offering unparalleled living benefits.

  • Can be achieved with any Design Style or Building Budget.
  • There are absolutely no restrictions on size or architectural styles, this is due to the fact that our building standard concentrates on a few key building elements from proven and tested building science technology.

  • Future Proofed – Significantly Lower Carbon Emissions
  • Passive Homes produce significantly less energy than conventional homes, resulting in radically reduced CO2 emissions, making this is the most sustainable building standard in the world (no green wash). You save on energy and improve your life-style whilst reducing carbon emissions. This is the positive change the world needs to reduce global warming.

  • Heathier Home – Less Dust, Pollens & Allergens
  • Due to air tightness, energy recovery ventilation systems, controlled temperatures & humidity plus filtered fresh, you will be living and breathing a perfectly healthy environment, minimising levels of dust, mold and pollens. The health benefits have been documented in several articles from people around the world living in PassivHaus homes; reduced illnesses, better sleeping patterns, less asthma and allergies have all been reported.

  • A Quiet Haven – Highly Reduced Noise Levels
  • By default, the higher quality of external materials insulates the outside noise, making your home noticeably quieter.

  • Unreal Comfort – Set Temperatures & Humidity all year Round.
  • You may have lived and experienced houses overheating in summer and freezing in winter, two level homes with upper level temperatures 15 degrees higher than the bottom level, the list goes on in Australia… Now imagine temperatures 20-25 degrees regardless of outside weather in both summer & winter, using minimal energy consumption.YES, it’s possible with a H4 High Performance Passive Home.

  • Lifetime Energy Savings – Ultra Low Energy Consumption
  • By creating a sealed thermal envelope, minimal heating and cooling is required, therefore dramatically reducing your energy bills comparatively to standard building codes.This reduction in energy has nothing to do with solar panels, solar is considered a bonus! This innovative technology results in much lower monthly energy bills, providing families a lifetime of savings.

  • Indoor Air Quality – Filtered Fresh Air (No Cold or Hot Draughts)
  • The importance of indoor air quality that affects human health can not be underestimated. Concentration of pollutants indoors are 4 to 5 times higher than typical outdoor concentrations, and people now spend 90% more time indoors. With A H4 High Performance PassiveHaus, the risk of pollutants is reduced drastically due to our recovery ventilation systems.

  • Proven Tested Measured – 80,000 + PassivHaus Projects Worldwide ✔
  • Would over 65,000 passivehaus TM projects built and tested worldwide be enough to convince you it’s the best building standard in the world? A holistic approach from design to construction is required, there are very clear definitions and requirements set by the PassivHaus institute, and this has continually been proven from concept to completion.
