The Federal Government is seeking comments on the Draft National Building Energy Standard-Setting, Assessment and Rating Framework.

 

Under the strategy, Federal, State and Territory governments have committed to developing a framework that will work towards consistent approaches on how buildings are assessed and rated for energy efficiency and sets a pathway for establishing a minimum energy performance standard for new buildings over time.

 

Comments are welcomed on the Draft Framework until 6 July 2012. Consultation forums on the Draft Framework are also being held in all capital cities in May and June.
