A celebration of sustainable house design companies
The HIA-Boral GreenSmart Awards are Australia’s longest running industry awards, and are seen as the benchmark for environmentally responsible building techniques, home design and products.
For a house to be classified as an ‘Eco GreenSmart house’ it must adhere to a number of environmental guidelines, including increased energy efficiency, reduced waste from the building process, and systems in place to enable occupants to waste less and recycle more. The Housing Industry Association (HIA) use the GreenSmart brand to encourage designers, builders and homebuyers to embrace sustainable housing.
