Rental Property Performance Assessment Victoria

A Rental Energy Audit provides a practical assessment of your property's energy performance, upgrade requirements and readiness for Victoria's evolving energy efficiency standards.

Geokal Services combines Existing Home NatHERS assessments, building condition reviews and building performance expertise to help identify opportunities to improve comfort, reduce energy use and plan future upgrades.

Victoria's new Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for rental properties will be introduced in stages from 1 March 2027 and include requirements relating to:

• Heating
• Cooling
• Hot water systems
• Shower heads
• Ceiling insulation
• Draughtproofing

The standards are designed to improve energy efficiency, reduce energy costs for renters and improve thermal comfort in rental homes across Victoria. [consumer.vic.gov.au], [engage.vic.gov.au]
