B. Cooling model improvements, comfort evaluation
6
Monitoring data point out that higher star rating has not affected energy requirement for cooling
need to reassess the cooling model evaluation particularly in tropical/subtropical zones Need for an indicator to examine comfort level during extreme weather as well as for overall
annual energy needs for heating/cooling
7
C. Developing holistic, CAD integrated design tool
7
CAD Integration Extending existing tools to include all major domestic energy use components Inclusion of rooftop generation/storage
8
D. Review compliance issues
8
• Recent research has highlighted the need for compliance processes
• Project will work with governments on procedures for improving compliance with new tools
9
E. Dissemination and integration into regulatory framework
9
Working with industry bodies, education providers and governments to Develop, test and roll out training materials, procedures Integrate into existing courses and programs Focus on the professions/trades involved in various stage of design, assessment, building and commissioning Using CRC communication channels to disseminate project outcomes

Research Challenge:
14
What do you get when you cross a national administrator, state governments, a scientific agency, non-profit industry organisations, software developers and house builders? NatHERS – an energy modeller’s nightmare.
15
The construction and operation of buildings: – consumes up to 50% materials – uses up to 40% energy – causes around 40% GHG emissions – causes peak energy demand
• The rest of the world is moving forward – UK - net zero carbon homes by 2016 – EU - nearly net zero energy buildings by 2020 – California - net zero energy by 2020 – South Korea - net zero energy by 2025

Deliverables
17
Exhaustive consultation with industry, state and commonwealth governments and other stakeholders Deliverable • National energy database and data analysis of available energy monitoring data. • Developing a holistic, system integrated ZCH design approach building on existing tools for
building thermal modelling and appliance performance and use pattern data, including measured PV and solar thermal performance data and cost analysis
• Versions of the tool suitable for use by designers, material and appliance suppliers, households and regulators
• Publishing training and educational material for up-skilling the building design, certification and construction industry as well as technical papers and reports.
• Building the case for cost saving for building retrofits focusing on achieving near zero-energy consumption and comfort for the occupant, as well as costs/benefits for builder/developer.

A project participants' workshop was held in May 2013 which included a number of presentations from industry, government and research participants. Reviews of available monitoring data, energy rating needs and tools were presented. The workshop participants provided direction of future project plan.

Consumers Survey outcomes: 92% would like energy efficiency information as part of sale and lease processes 89% reported that an energy efficient home would be more attractive to buy or rent 56% would be willing to pay for energy efficiency information (44% would pay up to $250) 92% would like energy efficiency information in building inspection reports, 83% at house inspections and 72% in home sale/rental advertising
Energy Fit Homes: Empowering Consumers
Work Plan: Benchmark existing rating systems/ tools Understand consumer wants and needs Consult industry and government Develop an implementation pathway
What information do consumers need about energy performance offered for sale or rent? At what decision points? From what sources? In what form?
