Local government
Scorecard helps local government achieve their environmental goals and support the health and wellbeing of their communities.
A number of local governments use Scorecard to empower residents to take charge of improving their home’s energy efficiency, comfort and running costs.
Scorecard helps residents understand their home's:
- energy efficiency star rating out of 10 stars
- comfort rating showing how well their home copes with hot and cold weather
- star rating with and without solar power
- efficiency ratings for each of the fixed appliances such as heating, cooling and hot water service
- energy consumption of the fixed appliances over one year
- greenhouse gas emissions for the fixed appliances over one year
- provides practical options to improve the home’s energy efficiency.
Accredited Scorecard assessors can produce a Scorecard variation report for householders. The variation report models the impact of upgrades on a home's energy efficiency star rating.
Scorecard provides an objective and repeatable rating, independent of occupant behaviour and demonstrates the real and measurable environmental benefits of upgrades, ensuring annual reporting of energy and emissions reductions are quick and easy.
Scorecard can also be used to support applications for Environmental Upgrade Finance where available.

Community organisations
Scorecard can help community organisations working towards improving household energy efficiency and comfort, target the best value upgrades for householders.
Scorecard offers an objective way of determining the best value upgrades based on the features of the home and the householder’s individual circumstances.
The Scorecard certificate shows a home's:
- energy efficiency star rating out of 10 stars
- comfort rating showing how well a home copes with hot and cold weather
- star rating with and without solar power
- efficiency ratings for each of the fixed appliances such as heating, cooling and hot water service
- energy consumption of the fixed appliances over one year
- greenhouse gas emissions for the fixed appliances over one year
- provides practical options to improve the home’s energy efficiency.
Scorecard also gives community organisations the ability to evaluate project outcomes through data reports. Whether your organisation is working on small-scale projects or longer term, community-wide programs, Scorecard can help meet your targets
