The following measures help you get a 6 star energy rating in Tasmania:

  • Double-glazed clear windows.
  • Optimum shading over north.
  • Orient living areas towards the north and bedrooms towards the south.
  • Have clerestory windows facing living areas.
  • Insulate concrete slab and slab edges or use waffle pod slabs.
  • Have a dark-coloured roof instead of light-coloured.
  • Have high thermal mass walls like double brick or thick concrete walls facing north.

Note that Tasmania have not adopted NCC 2022 and therefore, 6 star energy rating keeps being the minimum requirement for dwellings.
