THIS is the greenly way to do it. And there is an overwhelming amount to like about Australia’s newest smart home located in Sydney’s West.

The government are looking for a family to live rent free while blogging their thoughts on this three bedroom house in Newington that comes with solar roof top panels, a fuel cell that converts natural gas into electricity, water saving appliances, state-of-the-art lighting and a worm farm.

An electric car is an added bonus.

Sydney Water and Energy Australia are asking for applications for those who wish to trial the green way of life in this smart home.

They are hoping for tenants by around mid year.

“This is a groundbreaking project that will help us see what works and what doesn’t for a real family so that we can plan for the households of the future,” Energy Minister John Robertson said in a statement.
