At Beggs’s we measure your homes’s energy efficiency to generate a star rating, we will give you advice on important factors such as house orientation and construction which may not be possible to change closer to the building approvals stage. Good design is key to achieving a high star rating.
Homes with a higher star rating are considered more thermally comfortable and cheaper to run than homes with a lower star rating.
- A 0-star rating means the building shell does practically nothing to reduce the discomfort of hot or cold weather.
- A 6-star rating is the minimum standard in most states and territories. It indicates good, but not outstanding, thermal performance.
- A 10-star rated home may not need any artificial cooling or heating to keep you comfortable.
