Australian passive houses need shading as much as any other type of house.
Here is a cost effective method to shade a large outdoor area with lots of north facing glass.
This ornamental grape vine ( ) is fast growing and easy to maintain, putting on 6m of growth in its first season. Now in autumn it will turn deep red before dropping its leaves just in time to let the winter sun in to heat the house.
Come and see it at the Rodway Passive House on Sustainable House Day.
Sunday 17th May 2026.
