Residential Energy Rating Presentation

Residential Energy Ratings

• There are two ways of achieving this
  certification

2

• 1. Through an ABSA approved Thermal Performance
  Assessment. This is the most accurate and
  flexible method of certification. Your new house
  or addition will be modeled using sophisticated
  computer programs. These models will be analyzed
  and a star rating will be calculated. Minimum for
  council approval is currently 5 stars, with 6
  stars coming into affect from May 2011. This may
  change depending on State and class of Building.

• A certificate will be provided to show your star
  rating and can be used for council approval,
  marketing your property for resale and for your
  own information.
• 2. Alternatively a Deemed-To-Satisfy may be
  provided. This is essentially a pass or fail of
  the requirements in the Building Code of
  Australia. A glazing calculator, ventilation
  worksheet and other compliance cheeksheets are
  provided as required by your individual council.
  Unlike an ABSA certification there is no
  flexibility in this method and no star rating is
  provided.
