The North Wright Sustainable Precinct is leading the way with climate-resilient homes designed to keep you comfortable and safe, no matter the season. As climate change continues to impact our environment, the need for homes that can withstand Canberra’s four seasons and our extreme weather conditions has never been more critical. Here’s how North Wright Sustainable Precinct homes are built for the future: 

Designed for Canberra’s climate extremes 

Canberra experiences a wide range of weather conditions, from scorching summers to freezing winters. These homes are specifically designed to handle these extremes: 

  • Heatwaves: Even on days exceeding 35°C, these homes stay cooler for longer, reducing the need for air conditioning. Improved airtightness and insulation slow the rise of indoor temperatures, keeping your home comfortable. With solar panels installed, you will use your own energy to keep cool – reducing your reliance on the electricity network.  

  • Cold mornings: With superior insulation and airtight construction, these homes retain warmth overnight, so you wake up to a warmer home without the need for excessive heating. 

  • Power outages: In the event of a blackout, these homes remain comfortable for hours longer. The combination of high-performance insulation and airtight design ensures that homes stay warm in winter and cool in summer, even without power.

Protection against bushfire smoke and pollution 

Bushfire seasons can bring hazardous smoke and fine particles into the air. Our homes are equipped with advanced Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) systems and airtight construction to filter out smoke and pollutants, ensuring cleaner indoor air. This is crucial for maintaining a healthy living environment during bushfire events. 

Managing high humidity and moisture 

High humidity can lead to condensation, mould, and stale air but our homes at North Wright Sustainable Precinct use a combination of HRV systems and split systems to manage moisture levels effectively. This reduces the risk of condensation and mould growth, ensuring a healthier indoor environment. 

Built to last 

The homes are designed to be durable and resilient, protecting your investment for the long term. The airtight and vapour-permeable construction prevents condensation and rot, safeguarding the structural integrity of your home.
