Designing Smarter, Greener Homes for Queensland Living
qbq House’s Commitment to Sustainability
At qbq House, we believe every Queensland family deserves a beautiful, affordable, and energy-efficient home. That’s why we design homes that achieve up to a 7.5-star NatHERS energy rating — well above industry minimums—while staying budget-friendly. Our designs are tailored to thrive in Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast conditions, making comfort and sustainability part of everyday living.
What Does 7.5-Star NatHERS Mean?
The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) uses a star rating system (0 to 10) to measure a home’s thermal performance. A 7.5-star NatHERS rating means your home requires minimal artificial heating or cooling, significantly lowering energy use and utility bills. QBQ House is committed to designing homes that consistently meet or exceed this benchmark through smart orientation, thermal insulation, and sustainable materials.
Green Building for Queensland’s Climate
Our designs embrace passive solar principles, cross ventilation, and climate-appropriate materials. From wide eaves and window placement to thermal mass and natural airflow, our homes are built to maximise comfort and reduce environmental impact in Queensland’s subtropical climate.
Eco-Friendly, Cost-Effective Construction
Energy-efficient layouts and insulation
Designed for minimal heat loss and maximum comfort, our homes use smart layouts and advanced insulation to reduce energy bills.
Solar panel–ready roofs
All roof designs are solar-ready, making it easy to integrate clean energy and lower your carbon footprint.
Low-VOC and sustainable materials
We design with low-VOC paints and sustainable materials to create healthier homes and a greener planet.
Orientation and shading for passive cooling
Optimised home orientation and natural shading reduce reliance on air conditioning while enhancing indoor comfort.
Water-saving fixtures and smart landscaping
Eco-smart plumbing and drought-tolerant landscaping help conserve water without compromising style or function.
Affordable Sustainability, Built In
Sustainable living shouldn’t come at a premium. At QBQ House, we integrate sustainability into every standard design—making green homes accessible to first home buyers and families. Our home plans include sustainability features as standard, not upgrades.
Collaborating with Ethical Builders
We partner with local Queensland builders who are equally committed to sustainability. Our network ensures that your home is built to the highest environmental standards with attention to long-term performance and livability.
