Why build an Ebode Home?
Choosing to build an Ebode home is an investment in your future and in the generations to come. An Independent Energy Assessment conducted on an Ebode home built with Formance SIPs and an insulated concrete slab found that it used 75% less energy annually compared to a standard timber-framed equivalent. By reducing energy consumption, you’re not only cutting costs but also making a significant, positive impact on the planet.
Building an Ebode home brings benefits that extend far beyond energy savings. Research shows a strong link between quality housing and both physical and mental wellbeing. The ripple effects of living in a healthy, energy-efficient home include social, environmental, and economic gains that benefit us all. The more New Zealanders who have access to these kinds of homes, the greater the positive impact on our communities and future.
Building an Ebode home means investing in:
Your Finances
With lower energy costs, an Ebode home helps you save, enhancing financial security. Reduced monthly bills mean you can allocate resources toward other goals, contributing to a more prosperous future.The Planet
By consuming less energy and reducing CO₂ emissions, Ebode homes support environmental sustainability and combat climate change. This means a healthier environment now and a more resilient planet for future generations.Your Health
Ebode homes are designed to be dry, warm, and free from mold, mildew, and airborne toxins. A healthier indoor environment leads to fewer sick days, less reliance on healthcare, and a better quality of life for your family.
At Ebode, you're not just building a house; you're building a home that benefits you today and future generations tomorrow.
