The Clean Energy Council (CEC) welcomes the opportunity to provide feedback to The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water’s (DCCEEW) proposed addition of existing homes to the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
The CEC commends the Australian Government for the prioritisation to include existing homes within the nationwide scheme to better understand energy performance and efficiency in households, but makes a number of recommendations.
The Clean Energy Council are interested in ongoing consultation with DCCEEW regarding education and engagement with consumers around electrification and the disclosure framework. This a critical step in securing the best outcomes for a fair and efficient energy system and achieving Australia’s clean energy targets.
