NatHERS energy ratings (residential buildings)
Delivering practical, design-led NatHERS building energy efficiency outcomes for multi-dwelling residential projects.
We work closely with architects and project teams Australia wide to integrate energy performance into the design process—whether that’s early-stage advice to inform planning outcomes, or detailed ratings to support compliance at documentation.
Our approach is grounded in what we’ve long done well: translating building fabric performance into clear, actionable insights. This helps teams navigate compliance efficiently while maintaining design intent—particularly across townhouse and apartment developments.
Our NatHERS service can be engaged at multiple stages:
• Early design / DA: preliminary ratings and Whole of Home (WoH) assessments to guide key decisions
• Design development: quantified modelling across representative dwellings, with optimisation advice
• Contract documentation: final ratings, WoH assessments and certification
We focus on practical pathways to compliance, with clear feedback on building fabric and services performance, and targeted suggestions where improvements are needed.
If you’re working on townhouses or apartments and want a straightforward, informed approach to NatHERS, we’re happy to discuss.
