Nationwide Energy Ratings Scheme

Residential - Energy rating scheme logoThe Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme was developed collectively by Australian Governments in the early 1990's to help create an understanding of the relative expected performance of dwellings to maintain thermal human comfort in Australia, with the goal of encouraging better home design practice and reduced energy consumption.
