Have you ever received an energy rating report that didn’t read quite right? How would you actually know if the advice you've paid for is correct or not?

Floyd Energy® is often sought for a second opinion on an energy rating report completed by a different assessment company.

How do you ensure you get an energy rating report that gives you an energy efficient building?

Unfortunately, not all energy rating businesses are created equal and whilst assessors should have appropriate qualifications, in an only partially regulated industry, not all comply.

Then there’s building industry expertise and knowledge. Theory to obtain a qualification is never quite the same as also having practical working experience in the building industry.

1. Our Thermal Performance Assessors understand that whether it’s a commercial or residential building, an energy rating assessment must start by using all the details provided on the plans and supporting documents, and then upgrading the materials’ specifications to deliver at least the minimum rating. We understand, coming originally from different sectors of the building industry, what is practical and buildable when it comes to energy rating recommendations.
2. Once options for energy rating compliance are given, we suggest you visit showrooms to see for yourself what materials we've suggested to use in your development or design look like. In the case of glazing, from the inside and outside :).
3. Once your building material choices have been finalised, our energy assessors will update your energy rating report with your choice/s and ensure the minimum star rating is still achieved.

So, as you can see, getting an energy rating is more than simply inputting data into a software program until the right rating appears. - It’s about understanding the science of design, the materials needed and how the building’s space will be used. It is only then that your home or building will get a compliant star rating, as well one that can be built, delivering long term savings and comfort for its occupants.

A result we believe all in the building industry should aspire.
