Transforming Homes for a Sustainable Future
We empower builders, designers and architects with expert Thermal Performance Assessments and detailed guidance to maximise comfort, reduce energy load, and support Australia's climate goals for a more sustainable community.

HERS
National Home Energy Rating Scheme - A NatHERS assessment is essentially a report card for how your home will perform before anyone builds it.
It uses your plans, material schedules, windows, orientation and climate to model how the home is likely to heat and cool throughout the year, producing an energy-efficiency rating from 0 to 10 stars. The higher the rating, the less energy your home needs to use to heat and cool to stay comfortable.
It’s a proven way of finding the good ideas, the not-so-good ideas, and occasionally the “maybe don't put that giant f**king window facing west” ideas - while there’s still time to change them.
Benefits of early consultation
No redesigning.
Less headaches
Early input from a thermal performance assessor ensures energy efficiency is integrated into the design from the start, reducing the risk of expensive changes during the building permit process.
Save on Build and Running Costs
By optimising insulation, glazing, and orientation early, homeowners benefit from lower construction costs and reduced energy bills over the life of the home.
Smooth Approvals for Builders and Architects
Having compliance guidance upfront means fewer surprises at permit stage, faster approvals, and less back-and-forth with building surveyors.
Maximise Comfort and Performance
Early consultation allows for design decisions that create a healthier, more comfortable living environment while achieving higher NatHERS star ratings.
