BASIX & NatHERS for Gledswood Hills homes
Gledswood Hills is a Mirvac-developed master-planned community in the Macarthur region of south-west Sydney, built around a golf course and a growing town centre. Its western-Sydney climate makes summer heat control the priority for a 7-star NatHERS rating.
A new home in Gledswood Hills needs a BASIX certificate and NatHERS energy rating for its DA or complying development certificate. As a developer-led estate, Gledswood Hills has design guidelines and mostly compact lots, so window placement and orientation are often set by the masterplan - which makes early thermal modelling the smart move.
Sitting in Camden Council, Gledswood Hills shares south-west Sydney’s hot summers and cool winters. West and north-west glazing creates most of the summer heat, while ceiling and wall insulation drives winter performance. We model each home for the correct local NatHERS climate zone so the rating reflects real conditions.
What matters when building in Gledswood Hills
