All residential dwellings such as the following buildings can use 6 Star rating in their ESD report to demonstrate compliance with the NCC energy efficiency requirements:
- Class 1a dwelling: detached house or one of a group of attached dwellings including townhouse or villa unit and terrace house.
- Class 2 buildings: an apartment building (multi-residential) containing two or more sole occupancy units. In the case of a multi-residential, the whole building collectively (not each unit) must achieve a 6-star average (each being a 5-star minimum).
- Class 4 part of a building: a sole residential dwelling inside a commercial building.
