Energy Efficiency Melbourne
Energy Efficiency for Melbourne and Victorian Climate
Melbourne, Geelong and Victorian region in general is typically characterised by temperate to cold climates, ranging between climate zone 4 in north to central of the state to climate zone 8 in southern and mountainous regions to the east, as defined in the National Construction Code. Energy efficiency Melbourne is very important.
In this region we focus on the energy demands required to heat a building.
A 7 star energy rating requirement will ensure your home is designed to be comfortable while using minimal energy and highest standard of energy efficiency in buildings.
At Geokal Services, we will help design your dwelling to a suitable standard to ensure you not only comply with the 7 star energy rating requirements to obtain a building permit but also have an efficiency home to live in.
How a 6 Star Home will benefit you in Melbourne
A energy efficient dwelling is a great a benefit to its occupants, as it ensures comfortable living with lower heating and cooling costs.
A NatHERS energy efficiency assessment will ensure your building complies with 7 star regulatory requirements while it is designed to best thermal performance standards.
In Melbourne, in addition to 7 star energy efficiency requirements, a building must be installed with either a water tank or solar hot water system prior to building permits being issued.
We specialise in energy rating reports and 7 star energy efficiency certification in Melbourne and are ready to provide you with a cost and time effective service.

How Geokal Services can help for your 6 star reports in Melbourne
With climate change having a global impact it is important to ensure that buildings in Melbourne are constructed to meet the future global environmental challenges.
Geokal Services and accredited service provider who specialise in energy ratings and energy efficiency consulting for Melbourne and the Victorian climate include Geelong and surrounding areas.
Our experience is extensive and we can provide the following services for a competitive price.
- 7 Star Energy Rating Reports. We provide a compehensive energy rating service, ensuring your building complies to the requirements of the National Construction Code (NCC) and achieves a 7 star energy efficiency in buildings design.
- ESD & BESS Town Planning reports . We have many years experience working with clients to achieve with Town Planning ESD requirements. These assessment include a preliminary NatHERS assessment showing a building achieves a 6 star energy rating, in addition to an assessment of the stormwater usage, energy management, waste, and any other additional innovative environmental solutions.
- Deemed to satisfy (DTS) reports. Some projects where a natHERS or a 6 star rating assessment can be undertaken, these include projects such as buildings without a kitchen. in these situations a DTS report showing compliance to National Construction Code (NCC) energy efficiency provisions are required. We have much experience with these reports and where required can undertake alternative solutions assessments.
- Alternative Solution Assessment. In some more problematic projects where neither a 6 star energy rating assessment nor a DTS assessment can achieve compliance, an alternative solutions assessment must be undertaken. This assessment will demonstrate to the building surveyor that a alternative design such as installation of photovoltaic panels for electrical energy production will be an equivalent design to those required NCC and will consume the same amount of C02 emissions.
