PDF NatHERS Whole of Home Guidance Note
Zero energy and zero carbon homes
Zero energy (or net zero energy ) homes have an energy -efficient thermal shell and appliances, and when combined with renewable energy systems, over a year their total energy production minus their total energy use equals zero . Zero carbon homes release no net carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during their operation.
The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) provides energy ratings for new homes and is being expanded to include energy ratings for existing homes . This is helping create more energy efficient and comfortable homes that cost less to run, and is supporting Australia's transition to net zero emissions by 2050.
