After more than a decade, Australian Residential building standards have been significantly updated with the review of the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022.
NCC 2022 requires all new Australian houses and apartments to meet a minimum energy efficiency rating of 7 stars under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
Lifting the rating aims to not only improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions but also make homes more comfortable for their occupants.
Adoption of the NCC is determined by state and territory building administrations.
Some jurisdictions may choose to expand, remove or vary specific requirements and as such, we recommend you check with your jurisdiction’s building authority for local advice on transitional provisions.
According to the Climate Council’s 2022 Tents to Castles Report*, the 7-star standard for all new homes will save households an average of $450 a year in energy costs and reduce residential carbon emissions by 12%.
