The time is right to renovate
The time is right to renovate
One of the advantages in renovating today is how easy it is to make your home much more comfortable, much more energy efficient and sustainable – and do so in a way that is healthy for your bottom line.
Banks see the value of energy efficient homes and a number of them will even reduce your interest rates if they meet some simple criteria such as solar hot water, and double glazing.
An example of this is Bendigo bank’s Generation Green home loan
To qualify for their reduced rate your renovation simply needs to include two of the following:
Double glazing, solar hot water, or 2500 litre water tanks
Or your home can have photovoltaics or a grey water system.
If you have thought about renovating, the time has never been better to be rewarded for creating a green home. We all want our home to remain a valuable asset. And now with the right knowledge you can turn your home into the ultimate ethical investment.
The good news is that its not just you that wants your home renovation to be a huge success and be highly energy efficient and sustainable.
Leaders in the Australian green building sector are promoting a cap-and-trade scheme for building energy efficiency to supplement greenhouse gas trading.
Maria Atkinson, global head of sustainability for property giant Lend Lease, and Che Wall, group director at Lincolne Scott consulting engineers and former head of the World Green Building Council, are behind a plan, which they hope will overcome limitations in current emissions-trading schemes.
They hope to create an incentive for achieving dramatic energy savings through fundamental building improvements. They argue that under current emissions cap-and-trade systems only incremental improvements are considered because of the strict rules governing those programs. Even those improvements often fall prey to the split-incentive problem, in which the entity responsible for making the investment is not the party that would reap the savings.
An advantage that you have over companies like Lend Lease is that you can cut through all the red tape and create a highly efficient sustainable home that is comfortable very easily.
Isnt it time to turn your home into the ultimate ethical investment and your personal oasis?

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
