Konia in Smart and Sustainable Homes

Sustainable Home Gold Coast was a showcase demonstration project that combined leading examples of sustainable housing design with the latest 'high-tech' household features within an affordable family dwelling.

This display house was also known locally as Innovation House 2 or IH2.

An initiative of the Gold Coast City Council, Sustainable Home Gold Coast is located at Coomera in the new 'Genesis' residential estate developed by Heritage Pacific at the northern end of Gold Coast City.Sustainable Home Gold Coast was the first project to be opened under Queensland’s Sustainable Homes program.

Sustainable Home Gold Coast displayed the 'triple bottom line' approach to housing design and construction, as it addressed the three essential smart housing elements of social, economic and environmental sustainability.

The house incorporated numerous climate smart design features, including passive design - being well-orientated with good cross-ventilation, insulation, shading and lightweight construction building materials; energy efficient skylights and natural lighting with good window design; low-toxic eco-paint; instantaneous gas hot water; high-tech underground and slimline above ground rainwater tanks; water efficient products and appliances; energy and water use monitoring system; sustainable bamboo flooring; and solar pavers that light the way to the self-opening front door at night. It showcased how a good simple design can create a home that is safe, accessible and flexible to demonstrate the considerable lifestyle and economic benefits of sustainable housing.

Sustainable Home Gold Coast also served as a physical focus for Gold Coast City Council’s WaterFutures project as it is located within the Pimpama Coomera Waterfuture Master Plan area. This estate includes waterwise design features, such as an integrated urban water management strategy that catches, stores and slowly releases stormwater, will use recycled water through 'dual reticulation' piping and will provide efficient use of rainwater both within homes and on their gardens.

The Konia system made its contribution to the sustainability targets, generating enough drinking water for the whole household. From the first innovation house in 2003 many more sustainable homes have been designed and it is encouraging to see more households duplicating this sustainable approach to their housing.

KONIA WATER SIGNS MULTI-MILLION USD INTERNATIONAL DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENTS

Konia Australia Pty Ltd trading as Konia Water today announced it had signed new multi-million USD international distributor agreements for its quality “WATER from AIR” making machines and water filtration products to be distributed throughout the USA, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Malaysia.

Mr Stephen Wallace, Konia Water’s Chief Executive Officer, said that these international distributor agreements are the result of prudent management and marketing. “We have focussed our energies on promoting our water from air and filtration technologies whilst working within our financial capabilities. With these additional agreements, we are in a stronger position to continue to build internationally,” Mr Wallace said today.

The new international distributors are Konia US, Inc. recently established by Brandt’s WaterPure International in the USA, Liquid of Life LLC in the UAE and Vigilant Sdn Bhd (Qi Group) in Malaysia.

Donald Coughlin of Brandt's WaterPure International explained, "After researching and testing virtually every Atmospheric Water Generator (and every AWG manufacturer) made for the home/office, we made the decision to partner with Konia for several reasons. Their simplistic yet state of the art technology, the quality and flexibility of their product line (split system) and the drinking water their units produce, and most importantly the quality and character of the people who operate Konia Australia! With that being said we now know we can solve any drinking water situation, whether it be a home or a multi-national corporation, on time, under budget, and with the best quality drinking water available today!"

Under the agreements, these new international distributors are obliged to purchase a minimum quantity of units from Konia Water, generating multi-million USD sales for Konia Water.

“We are seeing our global marketing efforts really starting to pay off,” Mr Wallace said today.

“The international interest in our WATER from AIR making machines is reaching an all time high.”

About Konia Water

Konia’s WATER technologies and the unique split unit system is the careful evolution of over a decade of research and development in the water industry.

WATER from AIR generator and water purification technology sets new standards for the production of pure drinking water directly from the air. The atmospheric water generator converts moisture (humidity) in the air to water. This water is then passed through the water filtration system to provide pure, fresh water direct to your home or office.

The 5000 Series, for home and office use, can, under optimal conditions, be expected to produce up to 40 litres of water per day at low energy costs.

The larger 9000 Series is capable of producing up to 80 litres of water per day or alternatively multiple generators can be connected together in a bank of generators to produce larger amounts of water.
