Better energy efficiency in 3 simple steps
-
Better energy efficiency in 3 simple steps -
This simple 3 step process helps you crush compliance requirements and go beyond them with ease to deliver homes of the future for your clients.
Step 1: Optimise It
Optimise a home and its energy efficiency to be more cost-effective to build and run, be more comfortable and healthier to live in while achieving eligibility for a better home loan*.
When: Optimise the home during Sketch or Concept phases or before you apply for Planning Approval.
Step 2: Certify It
Because the analysis and decision-making are done early, getting your required approval reports and project certifications become simple and streamlined (think ticking the box simple!).
When: Get certified during Construction Documentation or before you apply for required Building Permits and subsequent Development Approval.
Step 3: Live It
Empower your clients with a Homeowner’s Manual that is a unique guide to their new home. This acts as a how-to manual for living in a highly energy efficient home and how to get the most of their investment.
When: Issued after final certification reports.
