Overview

The Residential Efficiency Scorecard (the Scorecard) is a unique program that provides an energy star rating for your home. In the same way as a fridge or washing machine has a star rating, a Scorecard rating shows how much energy is used by different parts of your home.

The Scorecard star rating program is the first of its kind in Australia. Assessments are tailored specifically for your home and are delivered by government-approved assessors. The Victorian Government has applied strict quality control standards which assessors must meet to be accredited.

This opportunity is ideal for people with existing experience and skills in home sustainability assessment.

Transformed is now offering the training pathways specified as a pre-qualification for Scorecard assessor applicants. Only accredited assessors can provide Scorecard assessments.
