Root and ceiling insulation. Upgrade it as high as possible. Will require ceiling joist upgrades and other members. Building with stud work internally? Insulate. Brick? Drywall over brick but very small increase. Double glaze Windows. Add a thermal break. Orientation specific glazing I.e. SHGC and U values. Specify flooring to assessor. I think tiles are best but can't recall. Specify drapes and pelmets. Remove all down lights and replace with surface mount light. Move Windows to other walls where possible. Raise sills. Light colour external colours. Build with a single skin external stud wall and cladding. Add ceiling fans I'm sure it already is but have draft stoppers to exhaust fans. Eave and roof vents. Slab insulation including slab edge. If two storey avoid balconies over habitable room. Insulated garage door.
