TASRate Energy Efficiency Consulting

🔈SERVICE UPDATE FROM 2027

As TASRate continues to grow, we will refine our service model from 2027 onward.

While our work will continue to be delivered by the same team, we will be placing a greater focus on our existing partners and designer-led projects. This change will allow us to dedicate more time to the quality of our energy compliance assessments, provide clearer guidance on available options, and help projects progress more efficiently.

We are incredibly grateful to every client who has trusted us with their projects over the years. Your support has played a significant role in our growth, and we sincerely appreciate the relationships we have built along the way.

This change will enable us to provide the highest level of service and attention to our ongoing clients and designer partnerships.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support. 🙌🏼

Wow! TASRate has just turned two years old! We can't believe it and are also so excited about more years to come.

Since receiving our very first commission in October 2021, we have worked on various energy assessment projects across commercial and residential developments in Tasmania. These assessments include two cat facilities (cute) in the north and south, a community centre, dozens of social housing units, apartments, hundreds of custom-designed homes, and so on.

In 2022, we received our first quality assurance result with a 91% assessment accuracy for residential projects (NatHERS minimum pass score is 80%) from our accrediting organisation - Design Matters National (DMN), and we have been pushing to higher standards on every job.

All these can only happen with the continuous trust and support from our friends, clients, designers, and other building professionals. You are amazing! Thank you!

UPDATES: Commercial Energy Efficiency has moved onto NCC 2022.

Some new requirements have been implemented, such as J1P4 Renewable energy and electric vehicle charging, while other changes are not too significant apart from the new numbering code.

A Section J Report will cover most of the code requirements for your commercial projects, including J4 Building fabric, J5 Building sealing, J7 Artificial light and power, etc.

On that note, TASRate has increased its capacity for commercial energy assessments and reports. So, if you need help, please feel free to contact us.
