This qualification provides a diverse range of skills and knowledge needed by professionals in conducting house energy ratings using NatHERS Accredited Software.

Education In Building is the leading Nationally Recognised provider of training courses for House Energy Rating. We offer pathways to obtain this formal qualification throughout Australia.

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

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)
