ecoSAVVY is a Townsville based business specialising in tropical design & sustainability for homes in North Queensland.

ecoSAVVY…helping you to create homes, lifestyles and communities that are healthy, comfortable and eco-friendly. Places to live that enhance our wellbeing, that are economical and that reduce our carbon and ecological footprints.

ecoSAVVY is a business that specialises in tropical design and sustainability for homes and sustainable living. We are based in Townsville, North Queensland.

The ecoSAVVY team are not designers, but rather change agents, enablers and home sustainability assessors. We train ourselves and develop our knowledge so that we can help people like you, living in & around Townsville to reduce your ecological footprint through considering energy efficiency and tropical design principles when you design, renovate or retrofit your home or to live more sustainably in your existing home.

And it’s urgent that we do. Scientists have now confirmed that climate change is occurring because of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by humans,....and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s worst predictions are coming true. Global warming, ocean acidification, increasing cyclone & storm intensities are all occurring – and the impacts are being felt by our natural ecosystems, our urban settlements, our agricultural sectors and our economic systems.

As a community and as individuals the time to act is NOW.

Don’t think its urgent?.... Watch and listen to Townsville's own Professor J.E.N. (Charlie) Veron, former Head Scientist of the Australian Institute of Marine Sciences (AIMS) and the world’s leading authority on coral reef ecosystems, as he talks about the future of the Great Barrier Reef and coral ecosystems around the world. It is a sad but important story to hear. The presentation is introduced by Sir David Attenborough. www.zsl.org/climatechange

So you’d like to take action?

Since 2004 ecoSAVVY has been providing sustainable housing related services to people building new, renovating or wanting to improve the way they live in their existing home, builders, developers, government, and the wider housing / development industry in general.

Benefits to these people have been homes that are more suited to our tropical environment, more enjoyable to live in, healthier, more eco-friendly. Homes that have reduced electricity use/bills, lower water use, less reliance on air-conditioning, increased biodiversity and more native plants in their garden, and that in general promote a more sustainable lifestyle.

So, whoever you are, ecoSAVVY provides services to make it easier to achieve those outcomes.

Sustainability – it’s a vote for the earth, a lifestyle choice, a business ethic, a better future

Sustainability is a characteristic of a process or state that can be maintained at a certain level indefinitely. For planet earth, the intent is therefore to provide the best outcomes for the human and natural environments both now and into the indefinite future.
