Famous for its unpredictable, topsy-turvy weather, Victoria has a climate like no other. In recent years, the state has experienced extreme events – flooding and heatwaves resulting in bushfires. Unfortunately, these climate change events are predicted to become even more intense and destructive over the coming decades due to past and present greenhouse emissions. With many of us heating our homes through a long, cold winter and cooling them over the warm summer, many older houses were built with no insulation, causing high energy bills and a very poor energy rating. However, recently there has a been a significant shift towards healthier, safer and high performing products of which homeowners are becoming increasingly aware.
