Usap Tayo discusses why many Australian homes feel colder indoors than outdoors due to a lack of insulation, prompting states to gradually enforce stricter energy standards.
Key Points
- Over 70 per cent of Australian homes were built before 2003, leaving many vulnerable to cold draughts.
- Installing proper insulation and suitable windows effectively retains heat and lowers electricity bills.
- States have differing timelines for implementing the National Construction Code that mandates a 7-star energy efficiency rating for new homes.
