When Hannah Blake signed up to start building her new home in Te Awamutu, the energy efficiency of the property was a key concern.
"We have an asthmatic child so ensuring the kids' rooms were all toasty and warm, especially at night, was paramount."
The 238 sq m house is fitted with more insulation that the building code requires, two heat pumps and a gas fireplace.
"Our house is fully insulated, toasty and warm. The house was built to capture the sun in the kids' rooms in the afternoon. The builder was a genius."
