  • Growing the Market for Sustainable Homes – Industry Roadmap, ASBEC & CRC Low Carbon Living
    GROWING THE MARKET FOR SUSTAINABLE HOMES INDUSTRY ROADMAP FOREWORD The homes we build today must meet the needs of tomorrow. As we work towards a global goal of zero net emissions by 2050, Australia’s home building sector faces a monumental challenge. Our homes already produce around 13 per cent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions. If our population continues to grow at its current rate, to an estimated 31 million people by 2030, we will need to construct as many as 197,000 homes a year. Whether these homes help or harm our planet is up to us. Sustainable homes require less energy to heat and cool, enhance occupant comfort and are more resilient to climate and weather extremes. Sustainable homes can also be a driver for economic growth. Preliminary economic modelling undertaken by the CRC for Low Carbon Living and ASBEC has found that accelerating Australia’s transition to sustainable housing would deliver more than half a billion dollars of extra investment in the construction industry by 2030 and create over 7,000 new jobs. It would also save Australians $600 million on their energy bills. These are big opportunities. But we have found several significant challenges that must be overcome first. Consumers are unclear of their choices – and are baffled by the terminology that describes sustainable features and technologies. Home builders are locked into business models and supply chains that limit innovation. And financiers don’t value sustainable homes. The CRC for Low Carbon Living and ASBEC have worked with industry partners and government to identify what’s needed to grow a thriving market for better quality, sustainable and liveable homes.

We note that the Committee is interested in our views, insights and experiences with regard to: actions being taken by community members and organisations to mitigate the severity of climate change, including actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions actions by community members and organisations to adapt to the current and future impacts of climate change ways in which the government can best support communities in their efforts interstate and overseas best practice models that could be implemented in Victoria. Firstly, we would like to congratulate the Andrews government’s move to raise the minimum target for renewable energy to 50% by 2030. Victoria’s leadership amid the ongoing federal energy policy vacuum has been much appreciated by struggling grassroots organisations like ours. Nevertheless, our fixation on limitless economic growth and high-consumption lifestyles have brought the planet’s ecological systems to the brink of collapse. The UN IPCC has made it very clear that developed countries must stop burning coal by 2030 if we are to avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
