Surfcoast TPER: Maximise your home’s liveability and efficiency

Common sense goes a long way when it comes to passive design.

That’s the philosophy adopted by building veteran Terry Robinson who, since 2009, has been helping Australians construct homes where thermal comfort is a priority and energy efficiency the cherry on top.

Terry, principal of consultancy group Surfcoast TPER, began life as a registered building practitioner, but has since turned his focus to environmentally friendly building design, project and construction management and energy auditing.

Surfcoast TPER is NatHERS and ABSA-certified and, thanks to Terry’s dedication to the cause, is now considered one of the nation’s premier specialist forthermal performance assessment and energy rating certification for new residential builds and renovated dwellings.

Only too aware that energy efficiency is about more than just compliance, Robinson has been credited with helping property owners up and down the country maximise their home’s liveability while enjoying decreasing energy bills and increasing resale value.
