What is a Scorecard Assessment?



• The Residential Efficiency Scorecard is Australia's trusted energy and comfort rating program for existing homes.

• By providing a comprehensive assessment of your home's energy use and comfort, the Scorecard offers tailored recommendations for improvements.

• With a rating from 1 to 10 stars, similar to a fridge's energy rating, it helps you understand how well your home copes with hot and cold weather, compare your home's energy use with similar homes, and identify ways to save on energy bills and enhance comfort.

• Get your house assessed by a government-accredited assessor and take the first step towards a more energy-efficient and comfortable home.
