As outlined in the National Construction Code, all local government authorities in Australia require patrons to meet certain energy efficiency regulations before they can be granted a building permit. So, if you are in the process of completing additions to your home or building a new one, you have probably heard of the 6 star energy rating that is needed for your home. Buildings are rated on a scale of 1 to 10 stars to measure the energy efficiency of the building, with 6 being the minimum residential energy rating for you to obtain your permit.

One method companies use to check your residential energy rating is with the 6 star method. Using thermal modeling software to model your proposed building, energy rating consultants will be able to assess the amount of energy required to cool and heat your project to a comfortable temperature year-round. There are other methods companies use, but the 6 star method is the most common method used to assess your residential energy rating. The 6 star method for residential energy rating is the quickest and easiest method for demonstrating energy efficiency compliance.
