Tasmania's First 6+ Energy Star Units at Westbury

James3004 by James3004 one(August 2009) (rank 41st)

Some of the comfort and design considerations Quamby Villas include are...

Solar orientation and a level site to reduce the excavation impact;

Strong desire to achieve above expectation;


Northern aspect allowing maximum daylight use for light filled kitchens and living areas;

1200mm eaves on the Northern aspect to reduce the summer heat impact and to allow in the winter sun;

Energy efficiency providing a formal rating of 6+ stars - which equates to energy savings and benefits;

Internal access from lockup garage;

Internal sliding doors to isolate warmth and cool zones;

Superior-rated insulation (R3.8 ceilings and R2 in external walls) providing warmth in winter and cool in summer;


Cross ventilation;

Water-saving dishwasher, taps, showerhead and dual toilet flush:

LED lighting systems;

Gardens landscaped with native water-wise plants;

Individual rainwater tank.
