The Council of Australian Governments (COAG) said it will require a minimum six star energy efficiency rating for residential homes and commercial properties built after May 2011 to improve the environmental sustainability of Australia’s homes and reduce our national carbon emissions.
It makes sense that mining accommodation should follow the standard and My Hutt has announced the release of the ‘Effetto’ range of accommodation units, designed with maximum energy efficiency and comfortable living space as foremost design parameters. A 6 star energy rating complies with COAG energy efficiency rating for residential homes and commercial properties.
By teaming high quality contemporary architecture and design with engineered functionality, My Hutt is able to produce attractive practical accommodation solutions with unmatched transportability. Units can be delivered worldwide and require just hours to erect to a permanent dwelling standard.
Living away from home should not mean a drop in living conditions or building standards. All My Hutt units incorporate contemporary design reflecting modern building principles and architectural philosophies to ensure comfortable and practical living space. The rigid steel frame system is the key to the modular units, providing structural integrity and enabling multi-level construction. Paul Carr, manager of the Nebo Junction Accommodation Facility, attributes his high occupancy rates to the comfortable living spaces that his My Hutt accommodation buildings provide. “We found that people re-book rooms for long periods after just one night,” Mr Carr said. “They are impressed with the size of the rooms and how quiet they are.”
The energy efficient buildings reduce running costs and environmental footprint. My Hutt’s ‘Effetto’ range use a wall panel system with rendered exterior and plaster internal finish to provide superior thermal and acoustic insulation as well as fire retardation. Solar panels and grey water plumbing are also available.
My Hutt offers a number of designs for accommodation and housing and are able to tailor a design to suit specific requirements. All My Hutt buildings incorporate quality and functionality in all aspects of design, construction, amenity, safety, and sustainability.
