ENERGY RATING SERVICE

We are accredited by the Sustainable Energy Authority to rate the energy efficiency of houses and house designs using the First Rate house energy rating software.

Accredited House Energy Raters provide:

high quality house energy rating services,
certificates for houses rating 4 and 5 stars,
feedback and advice on energy efficient house design.

Why design for energy efficiency?

An energy smart home takes advantage of the sun's warmth and light and has simple design features that keep it warm in winter and cool in summer. Any style of home can be energy efficient.

The designer, builder and owner can all benefit by designing for energy efficiency. An energy smart home:

is more comfortable to live in,
costs less to heat and cool,
helps the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions,
can provide designers and builders with a marketing advantage.

What is a house energy rating?

The Sustainable Energy Authority's First Rate house energy rating software rates the energy efficiency of houses on a scale from 0 to 5 stars. Houses which rate either 4 or 5 stars are considered to be energy efficient.

The First Rate software not only rates the energy efficiency of a house, it also provides feedback on how energy efficiency can be improved.

Accredited by the Sustainable Energy Authority

The Sustainable Energy Authority is a Victorian Government authority with a charter to facilitate the implementation of cost effective energy efficiency and renewable energy use within Victorian businesses, homes and government agencies. 

To become accredited, house energy raters must pass an exam using the First Rate software, uphold the Authority's Code of Conduct, and participate in an ongoing quality assurance program.
