Solartex intalls game changing energy efficiency products to existing buildings to dramaticaly reduce your carbon footprint and energy costs.
Inflector for windows works all year by keeping heat in the building during winter and keeping it out during the summer, to permanently reduce your energy bills in three ways:
Inflector Solar Shades are uniquely engineered to out perform double glazing and provide solar filtering and offer a range of installation options to suit each individual building’s interior design.
Superen hybrid ACDC Solar Air Conditioners need no batteries, and only a few PV panels to deliver huge savings.
During the day, when air conditioning is needed the most, you can operate this unit partly or up to 100% by solar panels. At night, you can continue to save due to the high energy efficiency rating.
What is a Thermal Performance Asessment?
Also known as a House Energy Rating, it is a means to make a home a more comfortable place to live.
This is achieved by the use of software that was orginally design by the CSIRO.
This software models your house plans to estimate the amount of energy it will need for heating and cooling and makes it easier to boost the efficiency and environmental performance of a new house design.
It does this by calculating and simulating a number of different factors such as the building construction, local climate and the orientation.
Using the assessing software heating and cooling energy levels are assessed with the ulimate goal of making a home stay naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.

Sustainability Workshop is a civil and environmental engineering design company. We use our extensive knowledge of ecology and systems to engineer low carbon living systems. Our client list includes home owners and builders, Architects and Planners, Borgs Manufacturing, Blacktown City Council and Amazon.
Our broad engineering, environmental and planning knowledge means we can deliver innovative solutions. We also design traditional civil engineering works such as roads and car parks and would love to help our clients do it with lower carbon approaches which often also save money.
We prepare policy, frameworks, plans and build capacity. We also work with developers, for example designing a sustainable water cycle for a 50 hectare, Borgs Manufacturing Campus at Oberon that will save 120 million litres of water and $400,000 in water bills every year while preventing polluted stormwater from flowing downstream. Please consider if we can engineer your next, low carbon, water cycle solution.

If you are interested in participating in Food Rescue as a donor, recipient or volunteer, or would like more information, please contact us.
Blue Mountains Food Rescue coordinates the collection of excess food from local food businesses such as various bakeries and producers. The environmental and social benefits are significant. The food is cooked or distributed to people in need, either directly or through community service partner organisations. Food rescue is also a means of supplying the Community Soul Kitchen project which provides “sit down” meals for persons in need.
Our goal is to make the food rescue process easy, safe and legally sound for all our partners.
Earth Recovery Australia has worked with the RFS through its Blue Mountains Food Rescue Project to distribute food donated in bushfire appeals. In 2013 there was an oversupply of food donations and ERA was able to distribute approximately 17 pallet loads of excess food through it’s community networks. Our Blue Mountains Food Rescue Project has distributed over $10,000 worth of rescued food in the form of food parcels in the last 7 months.
