Oz has been way way way behind on housing energy efficiency - ridiculous in one of the hottest countries
Ozzies 'build it as cheap as possible' short term false economy has left Australia as one of the lowest percentage developed nations in the high performance window countries
dismally behind others
would high performance windows add to building costs? Yes ----------- but, long term, the economics are ridiculously better with performance windows
Ozzies couldn't care enough - all they want is a bunch of sticks and bricks sitting on land which they hope the land value will speculate - high enough that their children can't afford to be housed
