Building Thermal Performance Assessor (Residential)

What is a Thermal Performance Asessment?

Also known as a House Energy Rating, it is a means to make a home a more comfortable place to live.

This is achieved by the use of software that was orginally design by the CSIRO.
This software models your house plans to estimate the amount of energy it will need for heating and cooling and makes it easier to boost the efficiency and environmental performance of a new house design.

It does this by calculating and simulating a number of different factors such as the building construction, local climate and the orientation.

Using the assessing software heating and cooling energy levels are assessed with the ulimate goal of making a home stay naturally cool in summer and warm in winter.
