6 Star Energy Rating
All new homes, home renovations, alterations and additions need to comply with the 6 Star Standard in the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
The 6 Star Standard applies to the thermal performance of a dwelling, renovation or addition and includes the installation of either a solar hot water system or a rainwater tank.
A 6 Star energy efficiency rating applies to your home's building envelope – its roof, walls, floor and windows.
Meeting 6 Star compliance is not difficult: it's about good design, particularly at the planning stages. So talk to us early to take advantage of the benefits, such as increased comfort, saving money on energy bills and making your home more resilient to climate change.
Alterations & Addition
In order to pass the energy rating requirements when applying for a building permit for alterations and addition you will require either an energy rating or a Deemed to Satisfy report.
If the overall volume of alterations and addition is less than 50% of the original dwelling, then this requirement can be fulfilled by Deemed-to-Satsify Report or an energy rating report.
If the proposed volume is more than 50% of the original, then the whole dwelling must comply with the 6 Star standard.
