Description
This is a 60-minute accredited CPD course designed for architects, building designers and energy assessors working with existing residential buildings in Australia. The course teaches practitioners how to read and interpret NatHERS assessment reports beyond the headline star rating, using load profiles, elemental tables and zone data to identify specific renovation opportunities. It covers how to translate that thermal performance data into evidence-based design advice across orientation response, envelope upgrades, glazing specification and zoning strategies. Participants also learn how to evaluate the constraints that older buildings impose on retrofit feasibility, including construction type, heritage overlays and physical access limitations, and how to develop sequenced retrofit strategies that satisfy both the NCC 2022 star rating requirements and the separate heating and cooling load limits. The course concludes with two realistic Australian case studies and a ten-question multiple choice assessment, with a passing score of 50 percent required to receive the CPD certificate.
This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
