Star-Rating System

• https://www.nathers.gov.au/

  • The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) is a star rating system (out of ten) that rates the energy efficiency of a home, based on its design.

  • 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.

10-star design

• https://joshshouse.com.au/about-the-project/

  • What sets this project apart from many others is that the building designs have achieved a 10 Star NatHERS energy efficiency rating*, while intentionally using conventional building materials and construction methods so they can easily be replicated by industry and the wider community.
