You can view our full social media policy at www.delwp.vic.gov.au/media-centre/social-media The new National Scorecard program, which builds on the Victorian Government’s successful state-based Residential Efficiency Scorecard program, facilitates a nationally-consistent approach for assessing existing homes. It was piloted nationally in 2019 and further trialled in 2021, with support from all governments. Currently endorsed by NatHERS, the National Scorecard program is expected to be fully accredited and phased into NatHERS. Until this occurs, all elements of the National Scorecard program, including the assessment tool, assessor training and assessor accreditation, will continue to be delivered by the Victorian Government on behalf of all Australian governments. The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) provides accurate, and comparable home energy performance ratings and information to improve the comfort and energy efficiency of Australian homes.

Windows are great for letting light and fresh air into the home ☀️ But do you know they can be a big source of heat during summer? According to YourHome, up to 87% of a home's heat is gained through windows. Windows can let in heat from direct sunlight or through a process called conduction: https://buff.ly/3zGOnJk Direct sunlight, or direct solar gain, is when the energy from the sun heats the inside of the house directly through the glass. Conduction is when heat from outside is transferred through the window material, heating the inside of the home. Both can leave you sweating in the summer! Direct heat can be reduced by blocking the sun using external blinds and shutters or by closing curtains. Conduction can be reduced with heavy curtains and pelmets or double glazing. If you want targeted tips for your home, reach out to your local Scorecard assessor: https://buff.ly/4cMMObm
