Sustainable House is organised by Renew, a national non-profit providing expert, independent advice on sustainable solutions for the home to households, government and industry since 1980. As part of this work, we publish to magazines — Sanctuary and Renew. From as little as $34 you can receive quarterly doses of sustainability inspiration, advice and guidance right to your doorstep.

Join Renew by 5pm AEDT on Friday, 15 April 2022 and go into the draw to win one of 24 Residential Efficiency Scorecard assessments. Up to three Scorecard assessments will be available to win in each state or territory.

The Residential Efficiency Scorecard is a unique program that provides an energy star rating for your home. In the same way as a fridge or washing machine has a star rating, a Scorecard rating shows how much energy is used throughout your home.

The Scorecard star rating program is the first of its kind in Australia. Assessments and information are tailored specifically for your home and are delivered by government-approved assessors.

The star rating provides an easy-to-understand snapshot of how your home copes with hot and cold weather. This allows you to compare your home’s energy use with similar homes and quickly see how to save money on your bills.
