What Victoria’s 7-Star standards mean for builders
The introduction of 7-star energy efficiency standards in Victoria is set to reshape the way homes are designed and built.
While these regulations aim to improve energy savings and sustainability, they also bring new challenges for builders, designers, and homeowners.
The team at Energy Lab chats with The Herald Sun about new challenges facing the construction industry in Victoria.
What You Need to Know:
Stricter energy requirements: New homes must integrate energy-efficient appliances and solar systems to achieve compliance.
Increased costs: Construction costs are expected to rise, with some estimates suggesting an 8-10% increase for builders.
Impact on home designs: Traditional designs may no longer meet compliance, requiring early collaboration with energy assessors to avoid costly redesigns.
