Are you ready to take control of your energy future? The North Wright Sustainable Precinct offers homes that not only provide comfort and health benefits but also empower you to own your energy. Here’s how these homes help you achieve low bills and low carbon emissions. 

Effortless comfort & lower heating/cooling costs  

With airtight construction (2 air changes per hour (ACH)) and star ratings between 7.2–8.9, cutting heating & cooling needs by up to 60% compared to a standard 7-star build. 

Why does this matter:  

  • A higher star rating means less reliance on artificial heating and cooling—your home would work for you, not against you.

  • Insulation and passive solar design trap warmth in winter and block heat in summer, keeping energy use low. 

  • A well-sealed home means no more cold draughts or hot spots—just stable, comfortable temperatures. 

Lower energy bills – future-proofed savings  

Smarter technology, lower running costs, and full control over your energy future. These homes are designed to use less energy and generate your own, dramatically cutting bills.  

These homes include:  

  • 5-6 kW rooftop solar – covering your energy needs year-round. 

  • All-electric design – no gas bills, no fossil fuels. 

  • Highly-efficient heat pump technology for both hot water and heating/cooling—reducing energy demand for these services by a further 65% compared to standard resistance electric systems. 

  • Superior insulation and airtightness, reducing heat loss and cutting energy demand. 

  • Battery-ready for future energy independence. 

  • 12/12 net-zero months – even in the depths of winter, the home produces enough power. 

What makes the homes unique? 

All homes in the North Wright Sustainable Precinct feature standard sustainability inclusions. The only difference– smaller home, more efficient, lower bills.  

  • A 2-bedroom house in the precinct averages star ratings between 7.7. - 8.9, requiring 45–80% less energy for heating and cooling compared to a standard 7-star home. 

  • A 3-bedroom house in the precinct averages star ratings between 7.4–8. These homes need 35–50% less energy for heating and cooling compared to a standard 7-star home. 

  • A 2 storey, 3-bedroom house in the precinct averages star ratings between 7.2–8. These homes need 25–50% less energy for heating and cooling compared to a standard 7-star home. 

Energy prices are rising, and fossil fuel use remains a baseload for a lot of Canberra homes. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to own a home that offers energy independence, low bills, and low carbon emissions. Discover the future of sustainable living at North Wright sustainable precinct today!
