Energy Rating Report for Alterations & Additions / Extensions

Energy Rating Report for Alterations & Additions / Extensions

Why do home alterations and additions/extensions need an energy rating report?

A new alteration or addition/extension to an existing residential home must show it meets the energy efficiency requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC). This can be achieved by completing a ‘Deemed-To-Satisfy’ assessment report and submitting it with your building permit application.

The requirement can also be met by having two NatHERS software energy ratings done: one on the existing dwelling, as is; and one for the dwelling with the alterations. This will ascertain the appropriate star rating your alteration or addition needs to achieve to satisfy requirements.

To achieve optimal results it is a good idea to have an assessment conducted by someone who has experience in the area.

Who can provide an energy rating report for an alteration or addition?

While there are many energy rating businesses who will give you a report to meet compliance, it is important to choose one that will select the right path for your project. This will help reduce overall construction costs and increase the value of your home through higher energy efficiency outcomes and comfort.

In New South Wales, alteration & addition energy ratings are assessed through the BASIX online tool. Anyone is able to complete this particular type of assessment, but to achieve optimal results it is a good idea to have an assessment conducted by someone who has experience in the area.
