Mike Streeter from Jamison, Victoria
THE PROBLEM
Mike and his partner are just about to finish building a new home on two acres of land near Jamison, Victoria. They started planning the build back in 2017, and it’s safe to say it’s not your average home.
They’re building a high-performance home, also known as a ‘passive home’, which is an air-tight house designed to be as energy efficient as possible.
Mike explains it’s a German-method of building homes that uses an exact science on how to build, often using the sun, trees, location and direction to help control the temperature of the house.
