Building Certifiers – Understanding Energy Ratings
Are you certain the energy rating certificate you are signing off on is correct?
It is vitally important that Certifiers understand how house energy ratings are calculated and what thermal performance measures are included.
Certifiers have recently been reminded of the need for the certifier to be satisfied that the completed building (or part of the building) is suitable for occupation or use in accordance with its classification under the Building Code of Australia. The ABCB recently announced maximum heating and cooling load limits for the NatHERS pathways in the NCC, to support improving the performance of new homes in Australia.
By undertaking the course CPP41119 Certificate IV in Home Energy Efficiency & Sustainability, Building Certifiers will have the ability to review energy rating outcomes immediately and ensure they meet the required standards.
The NatHERS assessment Certificate IV course is designed for energy rating under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) throughout Australia.

The benefits of completing this course on-line
Both online and face-to-face learning methods have their own set of unique advantages and disadvantages.
While few learners may still prefer the discipline and familiarity that face-to-face learning brings, there is no denying the immense benefits of online learning. The self-paced nature of eLearning content is highly favorable to the modern learner – as well as organizations searching for new ways of managing employee development and training in a post-COVID world.
This type of learning is more flexible than traditional learning and is more practical for learners. With instructor lead learning there is little scope for the learner to slow down and re-learn difficult concepts in a live, instructor-led scenario – as this hinders the entire group. Miss one class and it is gone forever.
With the advancement of technology and the EIB adaptive learning platform, elearning modules are supported via digital textbooks, live chat support, community forums, online discussion boards, videos that can be viewed many times over and audio materials, interactive quizzes, virtual announcements, and much more.
