New Zealand Solar Designed Houses

Taking advantage of the New Zealand sun through the use of solar energy is integral to the way Ti kouka Eco Lane has been designed, and houses can be sited for both for sun and shelter.

All sites are north facing, with natural landscaping protection from the colder winds found in this part of New Zealand, the southerly and the easterly, creating a favourable microclimate for each site.

Solar designed houses can take advantage of features such as:

• Solar passive systems for "solar gain" and "heat sink retention"
• Environmentally friendly wall and roof insulation
• Double glazing
• Solar water heating panels
• Solar collector walls
