Proptech Australia will hold a member-exclusive webinar on September 9 covering the regulatory pathway to achieving home energy efficiency.
Hosted by Proptech Australia President Kylie Davis and presented by industry leader Cecille Weldon, this briefing is in response to member questions on how to leverage commercial opportunities from the legislative changes.
The webinar will be relevant to proptechs involved in buying, renting, selling, managing and financing residential property.
The update will cover:
New Commercial Opportunities: Learn how to take advantage of emerging technology standards for residential energy efficiency.
Home Energy Property Ratings: Get an update from the Residential Energy Efficiency Disclosure Initiative (REEDI) Forum.
Proptech Energy Efficiency (EE) Features Standard: An update on Proptech Australia’s new industry-led data standard and what it means for you.
Translating Government Announcements: Get an easy-to-understand explanation of the new energy efficiency compliance requirements for new homes.
Our presenter Cecille Weldon, a former director of Proptech Australia, says: “This update will cover progress on single dwelling home energy ratings, the real estate training pilots progressing in NSW and an update on NatHERS Home Energy Rating Assessment Pilots.”
Background
Proptech Australia is a non-voting member in the Residential Energy Efficiency Disclosure Initiative (REEDI) Governance Forum.
Cecille explains the benefits of this for members: “This provides the association with a seat at the table where the big decisions are being made for the development of a National Framework for disclosing the energy efficiency of new and existing residential property.”
Her webinar includes an in-depth update on the Proptech Energy Efficiency Features Standard, which is a data set now signed off by its Advisory Committee and released to the founding signatories to the standard.
Currently, the attributes of energy efficiencies related to residential property are “inconsistent, confusing, often uninformed, vague and sometimes misleading”, says Cecille.
The new standard will be designed to deliver:
An aligned property market – ready for changes in the regulatory environment.
Better customer experience – more trust in energy efficiency property attributes within your property technology platforms.
Provide trusted data pathways towards the key property features that provide commercially exciting data sets.
Alignment with new financial lending products which are targeting particular property features in upgrades.
Alignment with new data-driven rating opportunities.
