Sustainable House Day is an annual event run by Renew that provides the opportunity to explore some of Australia’s most inspiring homes, and learn from the people who designed them, built them, and live in them.
Sustainable House Day 2025 was held on Sunday 4 May, celebrating some of Australia’s most inspiring sustainable homes. Thank you to everyone who opened their homes or volunteered to make this day such a success!
This year we focused on retrofits and renovations to help Australians transform their homes into more energy-efficient, cost effective and comfortable spaces. Over 230 homes were featured with more than 150 available for in-person tours. Missed the event? You can still explore the home profiles online!
Browse homes by state, category, or use our interactive map. From solar passive design and natural building materials to full electrification and energy upgrades, Sustainable House Day continues to offer practical ideas and inspiration for every kind of home.
