What is 6 Star Energy Rating
6 Star Energy Rated or Energy Efficient 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.
How ratings are determined
The calculations in the NatHERS rating tools are based on scientific research by the CSIRO.Your home’s rating depends on how well these factors suit the local climate:layout of the home and orientationroof, walls, windows and floor construction methods and materialsshading to the sun's path and how well your home takes advantage of local breezes
The NatHERS Universal Certificate provides a comprehensive and uniform approach to displaying important home energy rating assessment information and modelling outcomes.
All NatHERS Accredited Software can produce an energy rating using the Universal Certificate format demonstrated.
The Universal Certificate includes information on the dwelling’s key design features, building materials and parameters used to generate its star rating.
A Universal Certificate showing the NatHERS logo demonstrates that the assessment was completed by a NatHERS Accredited Assessor, allowing certifiers to easily verify that the person rating your home is skilled in completing NatHERS ratings.
Providing relevant information in a comprehensive and uniform way allows builders, certifiers and regulatory authorities, to quickly understand the energy rating of a home and can be used to more easily confirm that the building has been built to the design on which the energy rating assessment is based

Multi Unit Developments
In Victoria when you are building three or more units, you will need an SDA, ESD report from town planning stage. The report will assess all the sustainable design initiatives needed for town planning. The Built Environment Sustainability Scorecard (BESS) & STORM assesses energy and water efficiency, thermal comfort, and overall environmental sustainability performance of your new building or alteration. It was created to assist builders and developers to demonstrate that they meet sustainability information requirements as part of planning permit applications.

BASIX
- The Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) requirements apply to all residential dwelling types and are part of the development application process in NSW. BASIX is one of the strongest sustainable planning measures to be undertaken in Australia.
- In NSW, there are BASIX requirements for water and energy usage and thermal comfort performance that apply to:
- all new residential dwellings.
- alterations and additions to dwellings that cost $50,000 or more.
- swimming pools of 40,000 litres or more.
