Unique to the industry, CSR House is not only a practical and energy efficient 8-Star product display home but also a working research and development facility, representing a major investment in industry innovation.
CSR's many divisions worked together to explore how a cost-effective and energy efficient Australian home could best be constructed using readily available building materials. The goal was to create a home with outstanding build quality, comfort, internal air quality and acoustics as well as all-important thermal and energy efficiency.

Commenting on the launch, Ray Thompson, General Manager, Innovation and Market Development, CSR Building Products, said: "As energy prices continue to rise, energy efficiency has never been a higher priority for homeowners and builders alike.
What is perhaps less well understood is that a single-minded focus on build quality can deliver this and a myriad of other advantages, such as excellent acoustics, comfort, air quality, and of course lower power bills.
"The launch of CSR House and CSR Energy Solutions represent the culmination of a significant investment in innovation. We're proud to be spearheading such an initiative in the construction industry, sharing the many lessons we learnt during this process," he said.
