Waikato Times article: How a high performance home changes life

Craig and Melissa Lawrence used to live in a house so cold, damp and draughty that they’d find slugs on the hallway floor.

“We wanted a home that’s a constant and comfortable temperature year-round, with low moisture levels and minimal energy usage to achieve it.

The result is a new high performance eHaus, that’s the same comfortable 18 to 19 degree temperature every morning, without heating on, even when it’s -1 degree in Cambridge, as it has been this month.
