Harmonious Living...

Building Green means that environmental considerations are incorporated into every aspect of the building process. From the way the streets are designed to the type of material on the benchtops, the principles of sustainability, durability and community are taken into account. A green home is simply a home that conserves energy, conserves resources, is healthier to live in and will be there for your children’s children to enjoy.

Kensington Park is committed to excellence in sustainability, being innovative in designing, building and managing a more eco-friendly neighbourhood.

Here are some shining examples of how Kensington Park is making ‘green’ the household word:

• Home heating, water heating, energy efficiency and the control of the interior environment are treated as integral parts of the Kensington Park building process.

• Floor slabs which the houses stand on are wrapped to insulate them against heat gains and losses.

• Houses are oriented on their sites for maximum energy efficiency.

• NZ’s Finest Wool Carpet from Cavallier Bremworth. 100% natural and sustainable wool fibre for added Softness and Warmth

• Energy efficient Heat Pumps to warm your home in Winter and keep it cool in the Summer. Heat Pumps are up to 4 times more energy efficient than heaters, saving you power
and the environment too.

• With the insulation of double glazed windows your home will always feel cozy. Double glazing also reduces noise, controls condensation and reduces UV radiation.

• Heated towel rails. Not only are the towel rails heated, they are also complete with power control and timers saving energy when you don’t need it.

• Induction Cooktops. The biggest breakthrough in cooking since the electric oven. It’s safer and faster, with 50% better energy efficiency than traditional cooktops.

• Eco Lighting. With feature lights and eco lighting, you use only 28-32% of standard 100w bulbs.

• Storm-water is treated on the site via a lake and weir system which separates sediments. It is planned to have ‘grey’ wastewater recycled and used to irrigate gardens in public areas.

Kensington Park is committed to providing buyers with connected, walkable neighbourhoods and beautiful, functional homes that conserve energy as well as our precious natural resources.
