******* NEW DATE *******

New energy efficiency standards for buildings are on the way! Energy efficient homes need less energy to stay comfortable all year round. They cut household energy bills and emissions, are more comfortable to live in, and provide better protection from extreme weather events like heatwaves.

New national building standards commence October 2023 and include a new requirement for a building to be minimum 7 stars (the current standard is 6 stars).

MRSG Sustainable Homes’ Building Ideas Group is hosting three speakers who will explain the updated energy efficiency standards and their application. Stay on to chat over a “potluck” dinner.
