If you are not familiar with Merchant Builders they were upmarket project home builders based in Melbourne, and their homes had many similarities with the Pettit and Sevitt principals.

Sunday 17th October is Sustainable House Day thanks to Renew. One of our clients from 2019 has generously volunteered to share her experiences with retrofitting her 1977 Merchant Builders home. Julie has achieved a remarkable 10-star rating on the Residential Energy Efficiency Scorecard, and an all-electric, net-zero result for her household's energy consumption, which was previously freezing in winter.

I have put a lot of information and links together about Julie's Net Zero Merchant Builders retrofit over on Secret Design Studio's blog, including a link to Julie's 7-minute video, and a link to register to join Julie in a panel discussion via Zoom tomorrow thanks to Sustainable House Day.
