Westpac first to join AU’s energy rating trial for existing homes

The initiative aims to help households better understand their energy consumption.

Westpac has become the first Australian bank to join the Australian Government’s trial of the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) for existing homes.

The initiative aims to help households better understand their energy consumption, identify cost-effective upgrades, and reduce energy bills.

Select Westpac customers may be invited to take part in the trial and receive a free home energy rating certificate from an expert assessor.

Westpac will commence the trial in collaboration with the Australian Government, the CSIRO and property valuer Opteon once the expanded scheme launches from mid-2025.
