Now Building 8 Star Homes

We’re proud to announce a major step forward in sustainable homebuilding, from October 13, 2025, all JG King Homes standard designs will be built to an 8 Star energy efficiency standard at no extra cost to our customers*. That means Victorian families can enjoy homes that use up to 30% less energy for heating and cooling than a 7 star home. Greater year-round comfort without compromising on design or budget. 

This is more than just a step forward - it's part of our ongoing commitment to build homes that are smarter, stronger, safer and more sustainable for Victorian families.

Why 8 Star Energy Efficiency Matters

An 8 star home isn’t just about ticking a sustainability box—it’s about creating a smarter, more comfortable place to live. Here are the key benefits:

• Lower energy bills – With smarter design and materials, your home naturally stays cooler in summer and warmer in winter, reducing the need for heating and cooling. Compared to a 7 star home, you could use up to 30% less energy, saving hundreds each year on heating and cooling.
• Smarter borrowing - More lenders are now offering discounted interest rates for energy-efficient homes. That means your 8 star home could save you money even before you move in.
• Year-round comfort – High-performance insulation, windows, and building methods mean a more consistent and enjoyable indoor temperature.
• Better for the environment – Using less energy means reducing your carbon footprint without sacrificing lifestyle.

• Future-ready living – As energy standards rise across Australia, 8-star homes are already ahead of the curve, protecting the value of your investment.

   

How are JG King Homes Achieving 8 Star Energy Efficiency? 

Behind the scenes, a lot of research and innovation has gone into achieving this leap forward. A few of the standout features include:

• Low E glazing for better insulation
• Double and triple glazed windows
• Maximum ceiling and wall insulation
• Insulated walls around bathrooms, toilets, and laundries
• Roof blanket under roofing for added comfort
• Extra insulation in floor joists of double-storey homes

What are High Performance Windows and Doors?

At Project Windows and Doors (part of the JG King Building Group), innovation is ingrained in our DNA. Our latest breakthrough in windows and doors introduces the exceptional uPVC frames with Aluplast technology as standard inclusion in all JG King Homes.

They are designed to keep heat in during winter and out during summer, offering superior insulation, noise reduction, and durability—all without compromising on design.
 

What Are European Styled (uPVC) Windows And Doors, And What Are Their Benefits?

Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) is a strong, durable material used for window and door frames. The majority of windows in Europe (80%) and the USA are made from uPVC.

With the introduction of JG King Homes' European-style double-glazed windows and doors along with double glazing and Low-E coating as standard, JG King Homes deliver the following benefits:

• Saving on energy bills from day one.
• Energy efficiency: Significant reduction in energy transfer, with windows accounting for up to 40% of a home's heat loss or gain when comparing low quality to high quality windows.
• Durability: Long-lasting, even in harsh conditions.
• Security: Multi-point locks and reinforced frames. Deterrent against potential intruders.
• Customisation: A variety of styles, colours, and finishes.
• Condensation control: Preventing moisture-related issues.
• Environmental benefits: Reducing energy consumption and being recyclable
• High acoustic insulation: Significantly diminishing outside noise for a quieter home.
• Fire safety: Fire-resistant and Bal-40 approved.
• Low maintenance: Quick and easy to clean.
• Thermal performance: Maintaining a comfortable indoor environment throughout the year.
• UV Protection: Blocking harmful UV rays to safeguard interiors.
