HOME ENERGY EFFICIENCY &
SUSTAINABILITY TRAINING

Residential Home Energy Rating courses & NatHERS software training specialists





LEARN HOW TO COMPLETE A HOME ENERGY RATING ASSESSMENT IN 2024



Welcome to Education In Building (EIB) – the Home Energy Rating training and
NatHERS course specialists. The Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS)
encourages energy efficiency by giving houses a star rating based on the thermal
performance of their design. NatHERS is the most common way to show that a new
house or major renovation meets minimum state and territory building energy
efficiency requirements based on the National Construction Code (NCC).

Over the past 14 years we have focused incredibly hard on maintaining our
leadership in Home Energy Rating, Thermal Performance & Energy Efficiency
training online accredited courses. In particular, we are registered as a
training provider of the qualification: CPP41119 Certificate IV in Home Energy
Efficiency and Sustainability.

AT EDUCATION IN BUILDING, WE ARE PROUD TO BE AN AUSTRALIAN REGISTERED TRAINING
PROVIDER AND NATHERS ENDORSED TO OFFER YOU ONE OF THE NATHERS ACCREDITED
SOFTWARE PROGRAMS AND TRAINING IN HOW TO USE THAT SOFTWARE.

 





With the NCC introduction of 7 stars and NatHERS Whole of Home our focus is to
train our students to become job ready, successful Nationally Accredited
Assessors under the NatHERS House Energy Rating Scheme.  The online Energy
Efficiency courses and qualifications provided by EIB are recognised for
accreditation as a Home Energy Assessor under the NatHERS House Energy Rating
Scheme.




NATHERS SOFTWARE COURSES

There are four software tools accredited under the NatHERS scheme, each with
different user interfaces and functions. Understanding how to use the Software
correctly is of utmost importance for anyone carrying out a home energy rating. 
Education In Building is the only Australian Registered Training provider and
NatHERS endorsed to offer you one of the NatHERS accredited software programs
and training in how to use that software

Our specialist trainers are endorsed by NatHERS to train in all four NatHERS
accredited software tools.

HOME ENERGY RATING COURSES

With the introduction of NCC 2022 – 7 stars and Nathers Whole of Home, EIB
courses have been designed and developed in consultation with industry leaders,
so you can be confident that what you’re learning is relevant. We take great
pride in offering courses that meet the needs of anyone carrying out a Home
Energy Rating. Our training courses are continually reviewed and updated to
include the latest legislation, codes and standards.

Why pay for an energy rating when you can do it yourself?

View course



EXISTING HOME ASSESSMENT COURSES

Our Existing home assessment training allows participants to understand and
improve the energy efficiency of a home through a new energy rating system. The
energy rating is a great way to show the value of investing in a better
performing and more comfortable home.

The new energy ratings for existing homes will help Australian householders
better understand their home’s energy performance, identify cost-effective
upgrades to improve the comfort of their home, and reduce their energy bills.

Its time to talk apartments ✅ $20

Rising in popularity, apartments last year made up 58% of all energy rating
certificates in NSW. Nationally the AHD Dashboard has collated data on over
70,000 apartments certificates over the past 12 months but we know little about
the real world performance of Australia’s stock of apartments. Some say
apartments are overperforming, and others that non-compliance with energy
efficiency provisions is common. Where does the truth lie and what can we do
about it?

Recognising that dealing with density is a growing and multifaceted challenge
we’ve invited a broad spectrum of presenters to share their insight and answer
your questions. Join us as we hear from CSIRO researchers, team catalyst
building designer, Senior Sustainability Strategist and the Australian Building
Codes Board

Thermal Glazing ✅ $30

Windows and other glazed external surfaces have a significant impact on the
energy efficiency of a building. A distinct improvement in comfort levels can be
achieved by selecting a glazing solution that goes beyond compliance
requirements for a new or retrofitted residential property. This 25 minute video
discusses when properly selected and orientated, energy efficient glazing can
help provide year round comfort and reduce air conditioning energy consumption.

Passive Design ✅ $30

An energy-efficient house in Hobart or Melbourne is going to have very different
features from an energy-efficient house in Darwin or Brisbane. Both the design
of the building form and the materials used to build it need to be selected to
suit the particular climatic region, if a house is to be naturally energy
efficient. This 22 minute video discusses  the variation in climate across
Australia, and the aspects of climate that need to be taken into account in
building design.

Insulation Properties ✅ $30

Insulation needs to be used in conjunction with other aspects of good design to
ensure good thermal performance. If the orientation, window placement and
shading of a house have been designed correctly, insulation is usually the next
most effective and inexpensive way to reduce heating and cooling loads. This 38
minute video discusses a selection of topics regarding good insulation.

Thermal comfort ✅ $30

The great variation in climate in Australia means that in some locations there
is a greater need for houses to be heated to achieve thermal comfort and in
other locations there is a greater need for houses to be cooled.

This 37 minute video discusses the thermal comfort of a house and determining
the likely heating and cooling loads, which takes into account the:

• Effect of air and radiant temperatures, based on average temperatures, the
design features of the house, such as solar orientation, glazing etc,

• Impact of humidity, based on the relative humidity

• Air speed in the house, based on the potential for cross-ventilation and any
ceiling fans.

Climate change and the effects on energy ratings ✅ $30

Sunlight passes through the atmosphere and is absorbed as energy by the surface
of the Earth. Some of this energy (called thermal radiation) is radiated back
into the atmosphere, where it is absorbed by gases which then re-radiate the
energy in all directions. Some of this re-radiated energy goes back to the
surface of the Earth and the lower atmosphere which makes the Earth warmer than
it might otherwise have been. Clouds also play a significant role in the natural
greenhouse effect by absorbing and re-radiating energy back towards the Earth.
This 23 minute video discusses Greenhouse effects.

Thermal Performance ✅ $30

This 30 minute video discusses the concept of the building envelope and how heat
flows in and out of the building envelope, as you need to understand these basic
