Building eco-friendly homes

Learn practical ways to make your home more resilient to extreme weather, improve comfort and indoor air quality, and reduce energy costs.

Build a home that’s ready for the future

Extreme weather is already impacting many Victorians - and with climate change, these events are expected to become more frequent and severe.

Many homes weren’t designed to handle these conditions. By making your home more resilient, you can protect your health and wellbeing, reduce the risk of costly damage, and cut down on energy bills through smarter heating and cooling.

Resilient homes also offer everyday benefits: cleaner indoor air, better temperature control year-round, and more greenery that boosts your mood and helps buffer against floods and heatwaves.

Whether you’ve just moved in, are planning a renovation, or simply want to improve comfort and efficiency, our resources offer practical solutions for every budget - from quick, low-cost fixes to long-term upgrades.
