Our Mission

We want to help you make the world a better place, step by step - we believe that every little choice can have a large impact. We are constantly researching new materials and ideas, looking at Passivhaus (Passive House) Standards and construction methodologies, Sustainable Lifestyle Ideas, Embodied Energies, NatHERS Energy Ratings and modelling, and many more. If you seek any other material, or have any comments, ideas or questions, please do contact us.

Why we do what we do

The construction industry is a major contributor to rising CO2 levels. We believe the industry needs to change, and you can help move the industry towards Net-Zero-Energy Buildings with your choices.

You can make a huge difference, by choosing or specifying the right products.
Being Architects / Designers ourselves, we have found there were substantial gaps in the local market in Australia, and we therefore decided we should try help close those gaps and offer our findings to the wider market.

We really struggled to find suitable sustainable wall and window systems for our many passive house projects - Hutt Sustainable Building Supplies is now closing this gap in the market, and allows us to deliver welcoming and sustainable near-net-zero energy buildings around Australia
