We specialise in building energy efficiency assessments
EnergyLab specialises in energy efficiency reports, including NCC 2022 7-star ratings, NCC 2019 6-star energy ratings, BASIX, Section J compliance and Deemed-to-Satisfy assessments.
We provide residential and commercial energy solutions, NatHERS ratings, and sustainability-focused building assessments to ensure energy-efficient and compliant designs.
Residential Energy Assessments (NatHERS)
A NatHERS Residential Energy Rating assesses a home's thermal performance to meet 6-Star standards.
BASIX Certificates
The Building Sustainability Index (BASIX) aims to deliver equitable, effective water and greenhouse gas reductions across NSW.
Commercial Energy Reports
Due to our vast commercial energy rating experience we can determine the most appropriate method of compliance for your building.
ESD Reports
The Energy Lab team includes consultants dedicated to ESD assessments who are thoroughly familiar with the processes involved.
BESS
The Built Environmental Sustainability Scorecard is an assessment tool, recognised by local governments in Victoria.
Energy report FAQs
Energy Lab provides expert energy efficiency reports, including NatHERS, Section J compliance, BASIX, BESS, and ESD reports, ensuring sustainable, compliant, and energy-efficient designs for residential and commercial projects.
-
Energy efficiency reports assess the thermal performance and energy compliance of residential and commercial buildings. They ensure projects meet NCC standards, reduce energy consumption, and support sustainable building practices.
-
NatHERS ratings focus on residential energy efficiency, assessing thermal performance for homes (e.g., 7-Star ratings). Section J compliance applies to commercial buildings, ensuring they meet NCC energy efficiency requirements.
-
A BASIX Certificate is mandatory for all residential developments in NSW, ensuring water and greenhouse gas reductions. It must be submitted with building plans for approval.
-
A BESS assessment evaluates sustainability performance for residential, non-residential, and mixed-use developments in Victoria. It helps meet local council requirements and promotes energy-efficient design.
-
An Ecologically Sustainable Development (ESD) Report ensures projects meet sustainability benchmarks for planning approval. It helps achieve energy savings, reduced environmental impact, and long-term operational efficiency.

Energy Lab specialises in NCC 2022 7-star ratings, Section J compliance, BASIX, NatHERS assessments, and ESD reporting. Our team provides tailored solutions to meet compliance, improve sustainability, and reduce project costs.
Energy Lab is working in collaboration with CSIRO
Did you know Energy Lab is working with CSIRO and some of Australia’s largest bank valuers to test an analyse the first nationwide house energy rating system for established houses?
NatHERS for existing homes will offer home energy ratings that will help Australian households better understand their home’s energy performance, identify cost-effective upgrades to improve the comfort of their home, and reduce their energy bills.
Banks may be able to use the ratings to verify green loans, helping them access green capital markets to lend money for home upgrades, and help drive energy performance improvements in Australia’s existing housing stock.
