HIGH-PERFORMANCE SIPS HOMES based in the waikatoArchitecturally designed, energy-efficient homes. Proven to use 70% less energy than your standard New Zealand building code home.
Building the Future Together
Born from a shared passion for building homes that truly matter, Ebode was founded by a builder and architectural designer. Together, they have combined their vision and commitment to changing the way New Zealand homes are built—creating beautiful, high-performance homes.
High-Performance Living, Architecturally Designed.
At Ebode Homes, we believe that eco-friendly living doesn’t have to compromise on style. Our architecturally designed homes aren’t just beautiful—they’re built to perform. Our homes are built with Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), which offer superior insulation, keeping our homes warmer in winter, cooler in summer, and significantly reducing energy consumption.
With our in-house team of Passive Design & Build experts, we deliver homes that are warm, healthy, and energy-efficient. Using our unique Performance Pillars framework, we ensure that every home we build meets the highest energy standards, saving you up to 70% on energy costs compared to standard NZ homes.
Our homes are designed for modern families, from concept to completion, we’re committed to delivering homes that don’t just look good but work hard to keep your family comfortable year-round.
-
Our homes are not only architecturally stunning but designed and built using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) to maximize energy efficiency. Every home is meticulously planned with passive design principles to create an environment that requires minimal energy for heating and cooling.
Thermal Insulation for year-round comfort.
Airtightness to reduce heat loss and drafts.
Thermal Bridge-Free Design to eliminate weak points in insulation.
High-Performance Windows for optimal sunlight and energy savings.
Heat Recovery Ventilation for fresh air without energy loss.
-
Our team consists of experts in SIPs construction and high-performance homes. We understand the critical importance of airtightness and the attention to detail required to ensure your home is truly airtight once constructed. Using Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs), our homes are insulated to a much higher standard than traditional builds, significantly reducing energy consumption. With precise techniques and quality materials, we guarantee that every element of the construction process contributes to a durable, energy-efficient home that delivers lasting comfort and performance.
-
We ensure every Ebode home meets the highest energy efficiency standards through a process that starts with advanced energy modeling at the design phase, predicting how your home will perform in terms of energy use and comfort. Once the build is airtight, we conduct blower door tests to measure airtightness and confirm that air changes per hour meet our rigorous standards. These thorough tests and checks guarantee that your home will deliver the energy savings and comfort we promise, so you can feel confident in its performance.

Discover the SIPs advantage
Structural Insulated Panels (SIPs) have been used globally since the 1950s and have gained popularity in New Zealand over the past two decades. Building with SIPs creates a warmer, healthier home that reduces energy consumption and avoids the cold, damp conditions common in many NZ houses. SIPs also prevent overheating in summer, a growing concern with new building codes. Paired with mechanical ventilation, SIPs maintain a comfortable 20°C year-round, ensuring your home stays cool in summer and warm in winter, all while lowering energy costs.
-
SIPs are high-performance, prefabricated panels composed of an insulating foam core between two rigid board layers. They create strong, energy-efficient walls and roofs that outlast and outperform traditional framing methods.
-
Unlike traditional timber-framed homes, SIPs homes are far more airtight, better insulated, and quicker to construct, resulting in significantly improved energy efficiency and durability.
-
SIPs provide superior insulation, airtightness, and thermal performance, reducing energy consumption by up to 70% compared to standard homes and keeping indoor temperatures comfortable year-round.
-
SIPs offer faster build times, reduced energy bills, improved indoor air quality, and an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional construction methods.
-
SIPs require specialized knowledge for installation, and careful planning is essential to ensure airtightness and prevent moisture issues. However, with experienced builders like our team at Ebode, these challenges are easily managed for optimal results.
Step into the future of sustainable living.
Visit our show home.
We are proud to present a show home that breaks the mold and challenges the way we build homes in New Zealand. This home surpasses NZ building code standards and prioritises sustainability and energy-efficiency.
Every aspect of this home has been meticulously designed to optimise its performance. Built with SIPs (Structurally Insulated Panels) for the building envelope, a MaxRaft floor slab, thermally broken joinery using APL's new Centrafix system; this home is designed for maximum thermal performance.
Using Passive House Planning Package software (PHPP), we've energy modelled this home to demonstrate its remarkable energy-saving capabilities. It's projected to consume 70% less energy compared to a standard New Zealand building code home, while maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature of 20 degrees throughout the year.
