The Big Picture
Key Energy Efficiency Features + Home Energy Ratings
Research Validated
Features and ratings work together to delivering homes and apartments that are healthier, more efficient, more comfortable all year round, with reduced running costs.
That are more resilient and more attractive to the market, and less risk for owner, lender and insurer and less impact on the planet
Recent Householder Research commissioned by the Commonwealth and NSW Govt as part of the development pathway for forthcoming Home Energy Rating Disclosure, shows that HOUSEHOLDERS REALLY WANT VISIBILITY of Key Energy Efficiency Features right now. Additionally, when they are co-located with a Home Energy Rating in property advertising these Key Energy Efficiency Features help consumers make sense of a Home Energy Ratings.
How does a voluntary industry data standard work?
While Australia does not yet have a dedicated regulatory framework for voluntary, industry-led data standards, the EE Data Standard's governance model draws on ACCC guidance for voluntary industry codes of conduct — recognising, among other benefits, that such self-regulatory approaches can offer participants a competitive marketing advantage and increased stakeholder confidence.
Consistent with ACCC guidance on voluntary industry codes, the EE Data Standard is self-regulated by industry rather than imposed through legislation. It has been created and is administered by industry participants, supported by a Specialist Advisory Committee and is sponsored by the industry association, Proptech Australia.
This industry-led model gave the sector the flexibility to identify where a data standard was genuinely needed, and to develop and implement one faster than a legislated approach would typically allow.
Consistent with ACCC guidance on consumer awareness of voluntary codes, a published list of Signatories helps build recognition of the EE Data Standard among property professionals and consumers. You will find the list of all signatories to the EE Data Standard here
