Pilot accommodation built inside aircraft hanger using the Ecohousing Building System on Horn Island.
Developers:
Large housing estates could be completed at a faster rate when compared to standard housing as the houses comes ready to be assembled and only requires minimal labour to erect the house. The house are environmentally friendly, the product has a low embodied energy and uses very little electricity for heating and cooling allowing them to marketed as “a green alternative”. The building system also features well with an eco-village, as demonstrated by Ecohousing at the World environment day in 2002.
The houses can be finished in any way that the home owner desires; all houses come with a cyclone rating from the James cook university with a very high fire resistance. The advantage of the system for developers as stated is that it is a fully insulted, completely structural, energy efficient & cyclone rated system, no additional work is required to fulfil the BCA code requires as the houses are already fully complied.
The Ecohousing building systems has already proven that it is well suited for accommodation solutions in remote areas such as pilot accommodation in the Torres Straits and on Horn island. It should also be noted that these building have been built in areas prone to severe cyclones, the building system is well suited to this as it has undergone and passed intensive cyclone testing at the James Cook university, read more here.
