Daikin US7
The Daikin US7 (short for Ururu Sarara) is Australia's first 7 star (600%) energy efficient heat pump. This unit is more than just a heat pump / air conditioner, it includes functions to heat, cool, humidify, dehumidify, purify and ventilate the air.
- Designing for a Winter winning solar living systemWe all want to be off the grid, well at least not reliant on the grid. By being less reliant on the grid there is a powershift from the energy retailers to us. But that doesn’t mean we’d want to totally abandon the grid as the grid offers a huge opportunity to sell our excess solar to others who can’t access solar including commercial players or big industry.
- Evaporative Cooling - It's bad for energy efficient homes
Are you contemplating buying an evaporative cooler this summer – well, my advice is don’t because these deliver terribly poor performing and inefficient cooling and they’re expensive to uninstall.
Evaporative cooling is primitive, outdated and has been superseded by advances in modern, fast and efficient reverse cycle air-conditioning which is based on a variation of the same technology that runs our kitchen fridge, reliably keeping our food from spoiling day in and day out.
