Aurum in Zimbali lakes is an exclusive cluster of 6 bespoke energy-efficient homes from R8.5 million, this pet-friendly neighborhood within Zimbali Lakes has reimagined the estate’s reputation for sustainable family living. Aurum embodies the glistening coastline, its sunset hues and the experience of living beneath wide sunkissed skies.

Pioneering green living, Aurum Zimbali Lakes will set the precedent for sustainable homes on the North Coast. Based on the resource-efficient design, material selection and expert construction of each innovative residence, an eco-friendly EDGE-certified home is being pursued on completion. EDGE certification is a green building rating that leverages best practice to optimize energy, water and materials, minimizing wastage and environmental impact.

The Benefits of Green Buildings and EDGE Certification
• Offset energy and water costs with the ability to sell energy into the grid, to reduce energy
costs
• Improved and consistent indoor air quality
• Improved occupant health, comfort and wellbeing in the homes
• Higher sales and rental prices (home buyers are willing to pay more for efficient homes with
lower bills)
• Quick payback period for green measures
• Quicker sales (certified green can differentiate buildings in the market)
• Reduced maintenance costs because of better-quality construction
• Improved occupancy rates
• Lower utility bills which can be used to offset the ever-rising costs of levies, rates, and taxes
• Higher Resale Values
• Green mortgages can minimize upfront costs and lower interest rates as financial institutions
lower default interest rates
• Owners have more options to access funding and finance as more and more financial
institutions are investing in green buildings
• Reduced mortgage cost can finance the green measures
• Innovative models can be explored to install green measures without placing a financial
burden on the owner or buyer such as the cost of green measure built into the mortgage.
The savings in monthly loan repayment over time is greater than the costs of the green
measures installed.
• Certification provides quality insurance (documentation and certification process ensures
quality is achieved)
• Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
• Extended equipment life due to less demand on the HVAC system and other appliances
• Capex costs are lower through the passive design of EDGE certified homes
• A well-designed green home will keep homeowners comfortable even during power cuts and
water shortages

These homes are future ready and future proof to meet the demands of the next generation
