NatHERS compliance pathway for energy efficiency.

Outlines the peer review process which can be used as a compliance option for assessing the energy equivalence (thermal performance) of new houses and major renovations (where practical) in Queensland.

Explains how NatHERS assessments work and is an essential tool for NatHERS assessors.

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how the BASIX engine works to estimate energy and water consumption in houses and apartments, and how these outputs can be used to inform design decisions.
