Passive House Open Day 2018. Visit the only straw bale home in the world built to the Passive House Low Energy standard, right here in central Victoria.

Passive House building & design provides high levels of thermal comfort, clean fresh air 24/7 and ensure stable internal temperatures (20-25 degrees) 90% of the time. This simple (scientifically backed) design and building methodology created in Germany is rapidly becoming the Gold Standard in the low energy, efficient construction of homes, schools, kindergartens and work places.

‘Noonameena’ in central Victoria near Heathcote is a straw bale home that has been built to the Passive House Low Energy standard and is open to the public as part of the Worldwide Passive House Open Day program. John and Kym are pleased to offer you the opportunity to experience first-hand what a thermally efficient, comfortable home can be that uses up to 90% less energy than a conventional home (for heating and cooling). Toasty warm in winter and cool during the hotter months.

On the shores of lake Eppalock 10 minutes from the hamlet of Redesdale, 20 minutes from Heathcote and only 90 minutes from Melbourne, Noonameena offers you an opportunity to learn more about energy efficient building and enjoy the delights of the Heathcote wine region as well.

Please contact John to arrange a suitable time over the weekend. If you cannot make it this weekend, we are open on AirBnB so you can stay and experience the serenity and comfort of our (pet friendly) country home. We look forward to greeting you during this weekend.
