What to Look for When Choosing a Block of Land
Making your home more energy efficient: part 2
Everyday ways to improve energy efficiency at home
Once you’ve moved in, energy efficiency at home continues through how your home is used day to day.
The way you heat, cool and manage your home has a direct impact on comfort and ongoing costs. The good news is that a combination of everyday habits and small adjustments can make a meaningful difference over time, without requiring major upgrades.
Here are a few practical ways to get more out of your home.
How heating and cooling affect energy efficiency at home
Small habits that go a long way
Heating and cooling are often the biggest contributors to household energy use, but they’re also where small adjustments can have the greatest impact.
For example:
– Maintaining a consistent, moderate temperature across the home
– Focusing heating or cooling on the spaces you use most
– Using fans to support airflow and reduce reliance on air conditioning
Used thoughtfully, these systems can maintain comfort more efficiently.
Working with your home’s natural design
Let your home do the work
If your home has been designed with orientation, airflow and natural light in mind, everyday use can help maximise these benefits.
For example:
– Allowing natural sunlight in during cooler months, and using window coverings to retain warmth
– Shading windows during warmer periods to reduce heat entering the home
– Opening windows at cooler times of day to support natural ventilation
These small adjustments can support a more comfortable indoor environment with less reliance on mechanical systems.
Being mindful of everyday energy use
Everyday energy use
Being mindful of how your home runs
Appliances, lighting and standby power all contribute to overall energy use and can influence ongoing energy costs.
Many households find that small decisions around how and when energy is used can gradually influence overall consumption – for example, how heating or cooling is timed throughout the day, how appliances are used across peak and off-peak periods, or how different areas of the home are prioritised depending on how they’re being used. Over time, these patterns can also influence overall running costs, even if the individual changes feel relatively minor.
Small changes to improve your home’s energy efficiency
Simple additions that don’t require a full upgrade
While many energy-efficient features are built in from the start, there are also practical changes you can make once you’ve moved in to support how your home performs.
These might include:
– Adding thermal curtains or blinds to help manage indoor temperature
– Sealing gaps and drafts around doors and windows
– Upgrading any remaining lighting to LED
– Introducing timers or smart controls to better manage heating and cooling.
Over time, some households may also choose to introduce:
– Solar panels or battery systems, where the home is set up to support them
– More efficient appliances as existing ones are replaced
–Water-efficient fixtures such as WELS-rated tapware or showerheads
These changes can be introduced gradually, depending on your needs and priorities.
Keeping track of your usage
Awareness supports better decisions
Understanding how your household uses energy and water can make it easier to adjust over time.
This might include:
– Reviewing bills to identify patterns in usage
–Using available monitoring tools
– Setting simple goals to manage consumption
Even a general awareness of usage can support more considered decisions.
Key takeaway
Energy efficiency doesn’t end once your home is built, it continues through how you live in it every day.
By combining a well-designed home, explored in Part 1 of this series, with thoughtful habits and small improvements over time, you can create a space that is comfortable, efficient and easier to manage across the seasons.
At Seventh Bend, homes are designed with strong energy-efficient foundations, helping you get more out of both the design of your home and how you live in it every day.
From considered layouts and insulation through to efficient systems, these features work in the background to support everyday comfort. When paired with simple habits and small improvements over time, they can help create a home that feels more comfortable and easier to manage across the seasons.
