Poor home energy efficiency is a reality of life for most Australians.
Dwellings are expensive to heat and cool – and even then, are often still uncomfortable to live in.
These inefficient homes don’t just waste the occupants’ money. They waste energy – and the emissions that come with producing it.
In our changing climate, the unpleasant, potentially dangerous conditions inside Australian homes will become more frequent unless action is taken.
Until recently, any systematic approach to improving Australia’s dwellings fell at the first hurdle: knowing what types of homes needed to be upgraded.
Recent work from Climateworks Centre’s Renovation Pathways project addresses this gap in knowledge about Australia’s housing stock.
We now know the most common types of homes, where they are and what they’re made of.
With this information, we know how to get them climate-ready.
