Interested in using the Scorecard in a policy or project?

The Residential Efficiency Scorecard is funded by all Australian governments and delivered on their behalf by the Victorian government. This means government accredits Scorecard assessors, audits them, and delivers the Scorecard home assessment software tool they use.

Scorecard seeks to provide community benefits across Australia by delivering robust and consistent home energy ratings to reduce home energy use and cost, carbon emissions and improve comfort and health.

We know what gets measured gets managed

By using the Scorecard, projects can benefit from this nationally consistent, robust and trusted approach to measuring and improving home energy performance. The Scorecard measures home energy cost, carbon emissions and performance in hot and cold weather, and provides options to improve these ratings.

Using the Scorecard means a project has access to trained, accredited and audited home energy assessors across Australia and a standard endorsed approach to home energy ratings. All project information is securely held on a privacy protected database allowing projects to easily manage their data. The Scorecard delivers quality controls and capacity building for assessors.

Projects using Scorecard builds our knowledge of what works

Scorecard aims to publish and share information so that future projects can benefit. Our website provides case studies of the ways businesses, governments, banks and community groups use the Scorecard.

For example, projects that target:

  • Building or testing a national or local market for Scorecard assessments and accredited assessors
  • Mass uptake, large scale or targeted community benefit from Scorecard assessments
  • Access for vulnerable or hard-to-reach households to Scorecard assessments
  • Government, community and business projects using Scorecard assessments

  • Helping design projects that work
  • Analysing your Scorecard data
  • Working with you to make the Scorecard fit your project better.
