The Smart and Sustainable Homes
program is managed by the Queensland Department of Public Works.
The Sustainable Homes Program is providing communities throughout
Queensland with display homes that incorporate principles of
sustainable design and performance using Smart Housing Design
Objectives as the minimum criteria. The Smart Housing initiative
was developed in response to the demand for housing that better
meets people’s needs, and responds to all of Queensland's
different climates, whilst saving money. It is good practice
in designing, planning and building to meet the triple-bottom-line
of sustainability that balances social, environmental and economic
considerations.
