Environmentally responsible housing starts with a smart design. At Hobsonville Point every home has been architecturally designed and assessed by the Hobsonville Point Design Review Panel to ensure that each house is desirable, affordable, healthy and functional. Houses are designed to a specially created Design Guide, unique to Hobsonville Point, which has principles that seek to reduce the energy and water consumption in the house. Now that is smart. Vector is playing a key role in delivering the vision for a vibrant new community by delivering ultra-fast fibre and energy infrastructure services. With a fibre network connection right to your door, new and exciting choices will begin to open up for how you live learn work and play. For example, using smooth high definition video to instantly connect with far off friends or family, consult your medical practitioner or collaborate with business colleagues around the world all become a real possibility – and incredibly fast internet becomes the standard. Sustainable living is taking off and Vector is playing its part by creating integrated solutions that will bring intelligent and ultra efficient new energy options to Hobsonville Point – the likes of which are being utilised in this building right now. You will be able to get your energy from the most efficient source available, whether this be sustainable generation technologies integrated into your home, the electricity network or a mix of both. You will receive real-time information about your energy efficiency and energy costs. All this contributes towards improving the environment and your own long term savings. Hobsonville Point is partnering with Right House to ensure new home builders have access to expert advice on all aspects of energy in their home. Right House specialise in energy efficient design, heating and cooling options, water heating and renewable energy generation.
