Stories
Last Weeks Speaker - Anne Thomson
Posted by Graeme Leith
Anne gave us an insight into a project that has created the snuggest housing in Dunedin.  The Toiora Housing Project uses the “International Passive House Standard” for the construction of new homes. Passive houses are designed to maintain 20 -25C degrees all year with little  heating or cooling.
There is no condensation as fresh air is constantly supplied to all parts of the house. The result reduces heating energy for the house by around 90%.
Now that is something to shout about. This is a significant plan for all future housing.
As a Club we will be holding a special collection at our meeting on 3rd March - please be prepared to be generous!!
