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.
