Making a Difference to Climate Change – One Home at a Time
As the effects of climate change become more and more apparent, it's more important than ever for the residential construction industry to play its part in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment. At Hall & Hart, we believe that every home we build has the potential to make a positive impact on the planet.
We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and contributing to the achievement of Australia's 2030 carbon targets. We recognise the importance of addressing climate change and the very significant role that the construction industry plays in this effort.
To fulfill this commitment, we will:
-
Seek to integrate sustainable design and construction practices into all of our projects, with the goal of reducing energy consumption, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions.
-
Recommend to our clients materials and products where practical and available that are low-carbon, renewable, and recyclable, and that have been sourced and manufactured in an environmentally responsible manner.
-
Use renewable energy sources, where practical, to power our operations and our projects.
-
Partner with suppliers and contractors who share our commitment to sustainability and carbon reduction.
-
Monitor and track our carbon emissions and energy use, and set targets for continuous improvement.
-
Educate and engage our employees, clients, and stakeholders about the importance of sustainability and carbon reduction and encourage them to support and participate in our efforts.
We are committed to this goal, and we are confident that, by working together, we can make a positive impact on the environment and on the future of our planet.
Furthermore, we are a staunch supporter of the new 7 Star BASIX regulations, which will go into effect on October 1, 2023, and are in the process of rapidly developing our own in-house assessment/design capabilities and working with our suppliers to ensure that all H&H designs exceed the 7-star rating.
Making A Difference with Sustainable Building Materials
One of the key ways we're making a difference is by incorporating sustainable building materials and practices into our projects. This means using materials that are renewable, recyclable, or locally sourced, and designing homes to maximise energy efficiency. For example, we only use the highest levels of insulation in our builds, which provide excellent thermal performance and reduce heating and cooling costs for homeowners.
Designing Homes for Now and the Future
We are actively contributing to positive change through our collaboration with clients in the design and construction of customised homes. Our primary focus is on meeting their specific needs, lifestyle, and ensuring optimal site orientation. By investing time in understanding our clients' goals and priorities, we can create homes that are not only comfortable and efficient but also sustainable.
Our approach results in reduced resource wastage, leading to lower energy bills for homeowners and a minimised carbon footprint for the planet. Our commitment extends beyond individual projects; we are dedicated to promoting environmental sustainability and safeguarding our planet. With each undertaking, we strive to construct homes that exhibit not just aesthetic appeal and functionality but also environmental responsibility.
Ongoing Training and Education
At Hall & Hart, we're also committed to ongoing education and training for our team. We believe that staying up-to-date on the latest sustainable building techniques and technologies is crucial to providing the best possible service to our clients. We regularly attend sessions to learn about new developments in the industry and share our knowledge with our team.
Overall, we're proud to be a residential construction firm that is making a difference to climate change, one home at a time. By incorporating these practices and working closely with our clients, we're helping to create a brighter and more sustainable future for all.
