It’s quite simple, the image of the two houses illustrates the difference between a code-minimum home built today and a well-insulated LiteGreen home. In essence, the house on the left could have up to 12 – 20 air changes per hour. The LiteGreen home on the right will have just 1 to 3 air changes per hour due to its superior insulation thanks to building products such as Habitech SIPS panels. In essence, the LiteGreen home on the right will require 12 to 20 times less energy to heat because there is minimal heat loss. We build with either 170mm-thick SIPS panels (Habitech) or thermally broken 140mm-wide timber frames.
The image also illustrates that we build a well-insulated thermal envelope around the entire home—its foundations, walls, and ceiling, for example. We achieve this by blending the right mix of technology, heating and ventilation systems with superior materials, sustainable design principles and a passionate build team. Together, we simply deliver better homes — often at little or no extra cost.
As featured on Grand Designs on November 13, 2016 on TV3 (yes the same night of the Kaikoura Earthquake!), this episode show-cased our energy efficient Habitech SIPS concept house. As can be seen, it delivers both in architectural design whilst boasting our core green principles.

LiteGreen are part of the Superhome Movement, an organisation consisting of like-minded builders, designers and service providers who are committed to raising the standard of New Zealand housing. For its members, the Superhome Movement is a source of the latest building techniques, designs and technologies. The Movement also educates and lobbies for change.
The Superhome Movement concept is simple: Think small about our environmental impact, but think big when it comes to social impact and the life costs of your new home. It’s about building ‘forever houses.’ We are continually on the lookout for like-minded companies.
Steph and Arthur Cotton“We have recently moved into our beautiful new home in Pegasus built by LiteGreen. From the first moment we met their experienced team we knew we were in good hands. The design and quality they delivered was exactly what we wanted and most importantly met our budget. We are so proud to be in a home that delivers excellent energy efficiency whilst also delivering in comfort and architectural flare. People often walk by our home and offer lots of positive comments which makes us really grateful for what we have built. We can’t thank LiteGreen enough for all their expertise, customer service and attention to detail. We would happily recommend them to anyone looking to build in the future.”
