Why get a Scorecard assessment?

The Victorian Residential Efficiency Scorecard:

• is a new tool to rate the energy efficiency of homes
• tells you where the energy is being used in your home
• makes recommendations to reduce your energy use
• rates how well your home will perform on very hot days and suggests how to improve performance
• is delivered by knowledgeable, accredited assessors who can give you tailored advice.

• If you have high energy bills caused by your home’s construction or fixed appliances, Scorecard will show you where you can make savings.
• If you are planning a renovation, Scorecard can help you renovate to increase your home’s energy efficiency.
• If you are selling or renting an energy-efficient home, Scorecard clearly explains your home’s features and benefits to buyers and tenants.
• If you are buying or renting a home, a Scorecard assessment will give you an idea of your future energy costs

 

Our Victorian Energy Efficiency Scorecard assessment program can quickly deliver a high return on investment if you are looking to:

• sell your property for a premium;

• capture the benefits of lower interest rates; or

• be better informed about modifying your home for increased comfort and affordability.
