Energy Rating course for Building Designers

CPP41212 Certificate IV in NatHERS Assessment

Why pay for an energy rating when you can do it yourself?

The NatHERS assessment Certificate IV qualification is designed to meet the needs for energy rating under the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) throughout Australia.

Complete this course entirely On-Line.

Suitable for completing BASIX reports in NSW as well as Class A & B licenses in the ACT.

This qualification allows building designers the freedom to carry out their own modelling and review energy rating outcomes immediately.

You will learn essential skills such as:

  • thermal resistance and capacitance of building materials
  • window glazing values
  • occupancy patterns (including internal heat loads, typical occupancy times and occupancy behaviour)
  • window coverings (which are standardised for all ratings, noting they are likely to change of the life of the building)
  • different types of zones in the house and whether they are conditioned/unconditioned
  • thermostat settings (temperatures at which artificial heating/cooling is no longer required to achieve thermal comfort, noting this varies depending on climate zone)
  • local climate and weather (including temperature, humidity, wind and sun)
  • shadowing/overshadowing by adjacent buildings and features
  • size of the building being assessed (noting smaller buildings generally have a larger wall surface area than bigger buildings)

Our course includes training in Energy Rating Software….
