What is a Scorecard assessment

The Residential Efficiency Scorecard (the Scorecard) provides an energy star rating for your home. In the same way a TV, Fridge or Washing Machine has a star rating, a Scorecard rating shows how much energy is used throughout your home.

 The Scorecard provides a star rating for your home on a scale from one to ten. A high star rating means your home will use less energy (cost less to run) than one with a lower star rating.

Currently, the average Victorian home is three-star rated so there are opportunities to increase your home’s rating and spend less on your energy bills.
