Energy efficient, sustainable living and tropical design for people living in North Queensland's (dry) tropical climate.
For over six years now (since 2004), ecoSAVVY a small Townsville-based consultancy business has been providing specialist sustainability related services to businesses, government and other organisations who support North Queenslanders who want to build, renovate or live more sustainably.
ecoSAVVY's goal has been to raise awareness of the benefits and promote the availablity of cost effective homes that are more suited to our (dry) tropical environment. Homes that have reduced reliance on air-conditioning, lower electricity bills, efficient use of water, and enhanced biodiversity through increased use of local native plants. Homes that are more enjoyable and healthier to live in, that are more environmentally-friendly all round and that promote awareness and a sustainable way of living. We also produce educational campaigns to promote sustainable ways of living.
So, are you ready to take action?
Whoever you are... homeowner, tenant, landlord, builder, educator.... I hope that you find this website helpful as you take action to design, build, renovate, retrofit and live more sustainably in the tropics.
