People who make energy and water efficiency changes to their home reap the savings that come from using less energy and water. Cost of living is not the only saving. At the same time, each household that improves its energy and water consumption reduces the carbon footprint of their home. Consider that the average household contributes 14 tonnes of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere each year and draws an average 292,000 litres. Transforming our homes to be more energy efficient and water smart makes sense for our own cost of living and for the environment. By making improvements to our homes today we can ensure that the homes of the next generation cost less to heat and cool, are more comfortable and contribute less carbon pollution.
Australians' home renovation ambitions are changing. In the nineties, Australian homes underwent bathroom and kitchen renewals but today we are looking for ways to make our homes more environmentally friendly and reap the savings that come from using less energy and water. Each year the average Australian household contributes 14 tonnes of greenhouse gas to the atmosphere and draws an average 292,000 litres or 73,000 buckets of water. Making your home more environmentally friendly is a timely investment, as the next ten years will see the housing market shift towards environmentally friendly homes that don't cost as much to run in response to pricing shifts for water and energy, smarter environmental building regulations and future consumer demand. And the time to plan your green renovation has never been better with a wealth of Government rebates and programs to help Australians improve the efficiency and sustainability of their homes. Like the Australian Government's Green Loans Program, which helps Australians find savings all round their homes by providing simple advice and actions through a tailored Home Sustainability Assessment as well as access to interest free loans for bigger projects like installing solar panels, grey water filtration systems or rainwater tanks. The Green Loans Program is about helping you make the right choices for your home and your budget.
