| The winner of an eco-friendly builders award is a house that generates zero emissions and has no effect on the environment.
The HIA GreenSmart Home Awards were announced at Sergeants Mess overlooking Chowder Bay, Mosman, today.
Taking out the top spot of GreenSmart Home of the Year was Clarendon Homes in conjunction with Landcom for their Net Zero Emission Display Home, which has an eight-star thermal performance rating.
"The house has been designed so that it has virtually no bills for electricity or water because costs have been controlled by the design and the materials used in construction," the judges said.
