6-Star energy rating is taking effect in Western Australia on May 1st 2012. The new 6 star energy efficiency regulations are the biggest challenge for builders since the Energy Efficiency regulations were first introduced into the Building Code of Australia (BCA) in 2003. Although it is true, the stringency of the energy efficiency regulations for houses has steadily increased since its induction; the change from 5 star energy efficiency regulations to 6 star is requiring builders and building designers to significantly modify their energy efficiency solutions and method of compliance.
