EnergyAustralia and Sydney Water are seeking a family with children, including a resident writer, to live in a 'Smart Home' and write about their experience.
The Smart Home will be located in the Newington Smart Village Project, New South Wales, and will test new technologies for reducing household energy and water use, and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions.
The house will feature smart metering, alternative electricity supply and storage options such as micro generation and battery storage technology. It will also showcase the use of an electric vehicle, and monitor its charging patterns and possible integration with battery storage.
To apply, visit the EnergyAustralia website. Applications are due by 22 February 2010.
