“Evolution has a name for achieving energy-
efficient homes that are architecturally stunning
– like this one,” Numaguchi says. “Our holistic
approach to creating a thermal envelope that
holds warmth while minimising condensation
and air leakage can be adapted to any design.”
In fact, the benefits of energy-efficiency are
felt not seen. Evolution homes are warmer and
drier and, while their looks can vary, this sense
of comfort value is their reliable signature.
“The owners rave about how easy it is to
keep this home evenly warm through the Otago
winter. Essentially, they set the thermostat at 22
degrees and forget about it. They were so pleased
with the home’s efficiency that they wanted this
recognised by having it Homestar rated.“
