All terrace homes at the Village achieve an energy rating of 6.

A 6-star house will be up to 5 degrees warmer in winter and up to 10 degrees cooler in summer, depending on construction materials and design. Living in a 6-star house could save households up to $210 on energy bills and $50 on water bills every year, on average. A 6 star house will help create a cleaner, healthier environment. You'll save water and use less energy - and reduce greenhouse gas pollution by up to 5 tonnes every year.

Rainwater harvested from roofs and collected in rainwater tanks can be an excellent source of water for indoor and outdoor uses. A terrace home incorporating a rainwater tank backed up by mains water and supplying water for toilets and garden watering can lead to considerable reductions in mains water use and stormwater discharges.

AAA rated tapware and shower heads can reduce water use by up to 30%. Pressure reduction valves also reduce your water consumption.
