Growing demand for home energy information

As governments continue to explore ways to improve transparency in the housing market, Home Energy Rating is setting a high benchmark against the backdrop of an expanding range of emerging online home energy scoring and assessment products.

The first and main point of difference between Home Energy Rating and other products on the market is that the engine room driving Home Energy Rating – the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme – is grounded in CSIRO science and backed by 30 years of experience. 

Recognised within the industry as the gold star, national framework, there are other distinctions setting Home Energy Rating assessments above its competitors. Some key differences include: 

• Home Energy Rating assessments can only be conducted by government-accredited assessors
• data used for the assessment is gathered from an onsite inspection
• the assessment results in an official Home Energy Rating certificate
• guidance on upgrades is tailored for a specific home
• methodologies that underpin the assessments are publicly available, nationally consistent and comparable across Australia
• Home Energy Rating is underpinned by a quality assurance framework.
