5 Star Energy Rating
From July 2004, all new homes will need to comply with 5-star energy regulations as prescribed in the Building Code of Australia (BCA). This means that your new home must be:
1. 5-star energy rated for the building fabric; or
2. 4-star energy rated for the building fabric with water saving measures and a solar hot water system; or
3. 4-star energy rated for the building fabric with water saving measures and a rain water tank.
Windows form an important part of your building, and as such are part of the Energy rating of your building.
The Energy Rating does not apply to renovations.
Please check the legislation before you proceed.
