The Residential Efficiency Scorecard is new and available across Australia. It is a unique program that provides an energy efficiency star rating for your home.
In the same way as a fridge or washing machine has a star rating, a Scorecard rating shows how much energy is used throughout your home. It differs from a standard NaTHERS Energy Rating in that it takes into consideration not just the building materials, but also other factors, like your appliances and heating and cooling costs. Assessments and information are tailored specifically for your home and are delivered by government-approved assessors.
The star rating provides an easy-to-understand snapshot of how your home copes with hot and cold weather. This allows you to compare your home’s energy use with similar homes and quickly see how to save money on your bills.
Use the Residential Efficiency Scorecard to reduce your household energy bills, cut greenhouse gas emissions and improve home comfort. If you're buying, selling or renting, use the Scorecard as your point of difference - that your home is far more energy efficient (meaning less costs) than similar houses in your area.
