Resources designed for those who are new to energy efficiency, are helping households understand their ratings and make informed decisions to improve their home’s energy performance depending on their climate zone.
Factsheets tailored to climate zones
The series of comprehensive factsheets – launched in July – have been developed for single dwellings, apartments and multi-unit buildings across all 8 Australian climate zones.
The information is a good starting point for households to compare the effort and costs required for energy efficiency upgrades. They are also a handy resource for assessors who can use them to help explain climate specific guidance while onsite, or during discussions about Home Energy Rating Certificates.
Visit the Climate Zone Map on the Australian Building Codes Board’s website to discover the zone where your home is located.
