We are able to optimize our designs to suit local context- implementing additional shading and insulation, moving glazing, and assessing weather patterns – to create harmony with the climate.
ENVIRONMENTAL. SOCIAL. GOVERNANCE.
Committed to people & the planet
We aim to proactively identify opportunities that will help deliver long-term prosperity to our clients, staff, communities, lands we work on and the construction industry.
WABi Systems has a refined our ESG Policy with full documentation and measurement of WABi’s environmental, social and economic impact.
Our 10 Impact Areas
1. Innovative Thermal Stabilisation
Our patented WABi panels are high performing proprietary structural insulated panels. We are committed to researching, testing and assessing our thermal performance against international rating systems.
2. Biodiversity Protection
Our Eco Anchor and Lift and Brace Kits are innovative concrete free foundation systems. They are environmental protectors, permitting minimal impact to the ground surface, the small footprint allows natural flora and biodiversity to be retained.
3. Sustainable Design
Our system has unlimited flexibility, this permits designs to accommodate unique site features, topography, sun angles, cyclonic winds, accessibility, and future needs. We design for maximum volume with a minimum footprint.
4. Carbon footprint reduction
We have designed a building system that can be entirely freighted flat packed. This reduces the carbon emitted through trucks, ships and large machinery needed to be used on typical construction projects.
5. WASTE MINIMISATION
WABi Sum of parts have been sensibly designed for engineering efficiency. The entire system is optimised to reduce steel over usage and eliminate wastage on site. Every part is manufactured with extreme precision, is endlessly recyclable and has unbeatable durability.
6. Reduced Inequalities
We are committed to co-designing with the community. We do this by ensuring all stakeholders are treated as equal collaborators, continual learning, understanding, and listening and engaging in community events and design forums.
7. Promoting Skills Growth
WABi’s simple construction process promotes new skills growth, increases labour jobs, stimulates the remote economy, and allows the communities to enjoy the job satisfaction of building their own home.
8. Affordable Price Point
Less materials, minimal site works, minimal machinery and low trade skills all contribute to how we are able to achieve an affordable housing solution. We draw from the latest industry price standards and our combined building knowledge to ensure we are delivering our promise.
9. Sustainable Materials management
Our materials are durable, require little maintenance, create less waste and allow us to continue having a sustainable production line. We continually collaborate with and visit our suppliers factories to have assurance our suppliers reach business, quality, environmental and social standards. To measure and ensure strong supply chain transparency we rely on international third-party certifications.
10. Quality Assurance
We are internationally certified to comply with the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 quality management system. We continually demonstrate we provide products and services that meet and exceed customer and regulatory requirements.At WABi, we believe in continuous training and attending external events to help reach our KPIs and stay ahead of the curve.
Eco-Friendly Add-Ons
- Sustainable Design Initiatives
- Solar Power & Battery ReservesWe are able to add Solar Panels to all WABi roofs for perfect solar generation orientation, while using battery reserves to store energy for when solar radiation is low.
- Electricity Usage Meters & AppsAdding the smart behind WABi. We can add electricity usage meters to display how much energy your consuming, the remaining battery time and solar collection quantity.
- Water StorageWABi Systems can have a rainwater storage tanks, filters and pumps installed. Gutters for water storage are not included as a standard.
- Added InsulationUpgrade your home’s energy efficiency and save on bills with thicker WABi Panels and extra underfloor and roof insulation – higher Nathers Star Ratings guaranteed!
- Waste WaterFor a self-sufficient WABi, waste water is stored underground in a septic tank or composting toilet. To take full advantage of the resources, a waste treatment system can be installed.
- Double Glazed WindowsUpgrade your windows to double glazing to reduce heat transfer by up to 40%, resulting in reduced energy consumption and lower energy bills.
- Energy Efficient LightsUpgrade your downlights to LED, using 85% less energy and lasting twice as long, making them a great choice for energy efficiency.
- Desalination PlantEach WABi can be connected to either mains water or a desalination plant as an eco friendly option to reduce the stress on traditional water sources.
