What is the problem you found?

How might we stop using so much electricity that harms the environment and, destroying the environment for new buildings?

Customer / Problem

Our customers are families. The problems that they are experiencing are the huge amount of bills they have to pay from the use of electricity without using solar panels.

What Is Your Solution?

Our solution for this problem is by using solar panels for electricity without having to pay a large amount of bills and, use a more open space for air. Another thing is that we are using less amount of the environment for the houses. Although we are only including a limit of people to live in the houses, because we want to keep the living state a peaceful and spacious home for the families to live in. This will also keep the families happy and relaxed to live with other families that live close to them. 

Validation

The riskiest assumptions that we will test are 

  • Council permission 
  • The changes and extensions on the house 
  • Customers choice to live there 
  • Social challenges 

We saw that in the community of Logan and other parts of Queensland that sustainable energy and housing is needed, as the cost of living is rising and the population is growing. To combat this, we have come up with Eco Living. Eco Living is a business that upgrades and modifies homes into ecofriendly houses for people to happily live in. we modify the house in ways that provides more vegetation to the home, and cost saving mods like natural air conditioning, grass rooftops, better space utilisation and better ventilation.

These modifications will slash costs in the long term, as the use of cost effective appliances like fans and air cons wont be needed after the mods, as well as clothe dryers wont be needed. We have gotten feedback from a council member who visited our session. We are aiming for buyers who want to renovate their house, or people who want a renovations overall.
