Energy efficient show home in Cambridge, New Zealand
Nestled in the serene outskirts of Cambridge in the new Kotare Park subdivision, the new Ebode Homes show home offers a refreshing take on high-performance, energy-efficient living. Surrounded by rural farmland, this home combines innovative building techniques with a high performance design, providing a beautiful example of sustainable and modern New Zealand living.
Thoughtful construction at every level
This unique Cambridge show home by Ebode Homes features a robust construction using Structurally Insulated Panels (SIPs), which deliver superior insulation, resulting in a consistent indoor temperature year-round and drastically reduced energy costs. A fully insulated MAXRaft floor slab and thermally broken joinery from APL, installed using the Centrafix™ system, further enhance its thermal performance, keeping the home comfortable.
70% energy savings
Ebode Homes has gone the extra mile by conducting energy modeling with the Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) and a blower door test to confirm its remarkable 70% energy savings over standard NZ builds, maintaining an indoor temperature of 20°C throughout the year.
Designed for the needs of modern family living
The spacious interior includes 207 square meters on the ground floor and an additional 71 square meters on the first floor, offering versatile spaces ideal for guests, teenagers, or an Airbnb setup. With ample storage and flexible spaces that adapt to a modern lifestyle, this home is ready to meet the needs of any family.
Eco-friendly choices are in the details
Eco-friendly details abound in the show home, from JSC Taiga cladding sourced from responsibly managed forests to Dekton by Cosentino countertops, a carbon-neutral product throughout its life cycle. The walls are painted with high-quality, VOC-free paint from Natural Paint Co., ensuring a healthy indoor environment.
Sustainable choices in laminate flooring
The flooring selected by Ebode Homes Cambridge Show Home is our Perspective Nature Brushed Oak Natural from QuickStep, which is certified by the EU Ecolabel, is sustainably sourced, free from harmful chemicals, and built to last with an extended product guarantee.
Performance at every level to reduce the environmental impact of a new build and enhance the quality of life for its occupants
With a centralised ventilation unit that captures and recirculates up to 94% of thermal energy, this home doesn’t just look good; it performs exceptionally well in providing fresh air, warmth, and comfort all year round.
This show home exemplifies Ebode Homes’ commitment to setting a new standard for sustainable, high-performance housing in New Zealand. By merging beautiful design with cutting-edge building science, Ebode Homes has created a home that not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances quality of life for its occupants.
