Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Sep 27, 2006 11:15 am Under the Building Code of Australia all new homes are required to meet a prescibed level of energy efficiency for their particular location.
We are providing either advice or ratings on an average of around 8 homes per week and find in the main that homeowners do need to spend more to bring their homes up to the required standard which is contrary to the governments initial advice back in 2002 that 5 Star energy efficient homes would cost no more to build - [ victorian media releases ] I'd be interested in feedback from those with first hand experience either way.

Thanks. Re: Energy Ratings for new homes 3Sep 27, 2006 5:42 pm Mek, the print out is 4 pages. 1 page is a 'compliance report' which lists the critical features of the design.
