Creating homes that are better for you: the Healthy category

GREEN STAR

The Green Star Homes Standard aims to create healthy, resilient and net zero energy homes for all Australians.  What does it mean to create a healthy home and what are the requirements of the Standard to help demonstrate this?

As recent events have shown, the impact our homes have on us physically is  significant. We spend 90% of our time indoors  with two thirds of this being at home. 

Our homes, and where they are located, influences every aspect of our lives. There is an increasing body of work establishing the links between housing and an individual’s health and  wellbeing.

Higher use of air conditioning, poor ventilation and issues such as mould can negatively impact a person’s health.

Please join us for this webinar, where we will take a deep dive into the Healthy category of the Green Star Homes Standard, where these issues and more are addressed.

As well as gaining a deeper understanding of the requirements of the Standard, you will also hear from three speakers who will discuss the importance of a healthy home and how they are working to achieve this.
