Welcome to Sustainable
House Day
Sunday 16 May 2027
Sustainable House Day will be back in 2027, inviting you into real homes across Australia where you’ll see the practical solutions that make homes more efficient, affordable, and climate-ready.
Sustainable House Day is a national event by Renew connecting Australians with practical ideas, expert advice and real-world inspiration for creating comfortable, efficient and climate-ready homes.
Following Sustainable House Day, we held an expert-led online workshop series exploring affordable retrofits, all-electric homes, PassivHaus design, EVs, wildlife-friendly gardens, biophilic design and future-ready strata living. Each session included a Q&A with each expert – their answers are included in the recordings.
Watch the recordings here.
Sustainable House Day will be back in 2027
Every Sustainable House Day starts the same way — with someone saying, “Come on in, I’ll show you what we did.”
Homes across Australia throw open their doors, sharing real stories, practical ideas, and the lessons learned along the way.
Sustainable House Day is about neighbours inspiring neighbours. It’s about seeing what’s possible when people make changes in their own homes — whether that’s electrification, passive design, renewable energy, water saving, climate resilience, renovations, apartments, or tiny homes.
These aren’t display homes or perfect homes. They’re real homes, opened generously by the people who live in them.
Because climate action starts at home, and some of the most powerful conversations happen around a kitchen table, in a backyard, or standing beside a hot water system asking, “So how does this actually work?”

Step inside beautiful, thoughtfully designed architectural homes, carefully retrofitted weatherboards, or small apartments made cooler for summer. Hear from renters who’ve cut their energy bills with clever upgrades, families who’ve undertaken all-electric renovations, and people rebuilding after floods who explain the choices that now help them sleep better at night.
