Showroom gets the green light
Kinghorn Motors car dealership uses innovative ThermalHEART™ to meet stringent energy provisions.
With an ever-increasing focus on environmental sustainability, the pressure is on for builders and architects to meet very strict energy requirements.
When Kinghorn Motors VW decided to upgrade their showroom on Princes Highway, Nowra, the project almost didn’t make it past the planning stages. In fact, this beautiful and functional space may not have been built at all, had it not been for an innovative new product called ThermalHEART™.

Efficiency and Comfort
Striking design could be one way to describe Cimitiere House. Architecturally interesting might be another. However, it is unlikely that the casual observer would ever say anything like “… brilliantly conceived, environmentally responsible.” Yet, that is exactly what it is.
Cimitiere House is one of Tasmania’s first five star Green Star rated environmentally responsible buildings and much of the credit for making it so has to go to the close collaboration between the designers, developers, and Pitt&Sherry, who first presented the idea to Enmore Enterprises, the owners of Cimitiere House.
ThermalHEART™ systems are used extensively throughout the project to maximise efficiency and comfort.

Building The Future
AWS joins AVS Windows and Doors in supporting Future Homes 2010, supplying innovative ThermalHEART™ systems from Vantage Aluminium.
Our climatic future is unpredictable. The task for builders and home designers is to meet these evolving challenges with innovative thinking. The Future Homes 2010 (FH10) competition was launched to encourage young students to think about how they would respond to their changing environment. The brief? To design a 20m2 home that was carbon neutral and easily moved. The idea was to build a dwelling that was functional yet sustainable, and which maximised the use of the environment to heat and cool the building.
The FH10 project is the brainchild of Central Coast builder, Craig Riddle, of Living Green Designer Homes. Riddle felt strongly that students should be given a platform from which to think about their own future homes. As an additional incentive, Riddle offered to build the winning design and involve the students directly in the building process. Entries to the competition flooded in from Year 9 and 10 students all over the Hunter Central Coast region.
