What it's REALLY like living in a high performance home in NZ

Living in a high performance home in New Zealand can be a game-changer compared to a traditional kiwi house. Here's a rundown of what you can expect:

Comfy and Cosy

  • Warm in winter, cool in summer: High performance homes excel at keeping a consistent temperature year-round. No more layering up clothes indoors during winter or cranking up the AC in summer.
  • Goodbye damp and mould: These homes are designed to be dry and well-ventilated, reducing the risk of moisture build-up and mould growth, a common problem in older New Zealand houses.

Healthier Living

  • Improved air quality: Good ventilation systems ensure fresh air circulation, reducing allergens and pollutants that can irritate allergies and asthma.
  • A quieter home: High performance homes are often well-insulated, leading to a quieter living environment with less outside noise.

Saving Money

  • Lower energy bills: Energy efficiency is a key focus, so expect significant savings on your heating and cooling costs.

Possible Downsides

  • Higher upfront cost: Building a high performance home may involve a bigger initial investment compared to a standard build.
  • Design considerations: These homes prioritize functionality and efficiency, so you might need to be flexible with some design aspects.

Overall, living in a high performance home in NZ offers a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient living environment. While the initial cost might be higher, the long-term benefits in terms of comfort, health, and energy savings can be significant.
