The higher the energy rating, the more you can save on energy bills! Sounds simple, right? With more and more Australians trying to build more environmentally sustainable homes, it's recommended to have your house assessed and graded against the NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme). While previously the standard for most Australian homes was a 6-star rating, the 2022 National Construction Code (NCC) requires residential buildings to meet at least an energy efficiency of 7 stars under NatHERS. Now, how can you get a 7-star rating for your NatHERS? Building for a 7-star NatHERS rating doesn't need to be expensive or complicated. If you are looking for simple ways to make your home energy efficient and achieve a 7-star NatHERS rating, this guide is for you.
