We are a comprehensive house
energy ratings service
accredited by the
Sustainable Energy Authority
of Victoria. We provide
professional energy rating
assessments, reporting and
certification of proposed
residential building
designs, existing dwellings,
alterations and extensions
for dwellings in Victoria.
House energy rating
through the Nationwide House
Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS)
uses computer simulations to
assess the potential thermal
comfort of Australian homes
on a scale of zero to 10
stars. The more stars, the
less likely the occupants
need cooling or heating to
stay comfortable.
A Home Energy Rating is a measurement of a home’s energy
efficiency. Home energy ratings can be used for either existing
homes or new homes. A home energy rating of an existing home
allows a homeowner to receive a report listing options for
upgrading a home’s energy efficiency. The homeowners may then
use the report to determine the most effective ways in which to
upgrade the home’s energy efficiency. A home energy rating of a
new home allows buyers to compare the energy efficiency of homes
they are considering buying.
A home energy rating can be used to gauge the current energy
efficiency of a home or estimate the efficiency of a home that
is being constructed or improved. A home energy rating of a home
prior to construction or improvement is called a “projected
rating.” A home energy rating that is used to determine a home’s
current efficiency is referred to as a “confirmed rating.”
Energy assessments take into account different climatic
conditions in different parts of the country and are benchmarked
according to average household energy consumption particular to
a given climatic region.
Projected ratings give home owners and builders an estimate of
what a home’s efficiency will be like after construction or
improvements, so that they may determine the most cost-effective
route to improve a building’s efficiency. A confirmed rating,
which indicates the home’s current efficiency, requires an
inspection of the home from an energy rater.
The home energy rater reviews the home to identify its energy
characteristics, such as insulation levels, window efficiency,
wall-to-window ratios, the heating and cooling system
efficiency, the solar orientation of the home, and the water
heating system. Performance testing, such as a blower door test
for air leakage and duct leakage, is usually part of the rating.
