The HiLight has been designed to be sustainable, in both construction and ongoing use. Roof mounted PV’s offset the demand from the grid and power the air-source heat pumps to the highly insulated residences. Together with a host of other features including low energy lighting and controls, water efficient fixtures and onsite grey water recycling ensures the HiLight is a low carbon emission building.
