Heating and cooling homes adds cost to energy bills and impacts the environment. The amount of energy needed to stay warm in winter and cool in summer can easily be reduced by the good design and construction of our homes.
Assessing a building's thermal performance at design stage can identify simple, economical ways to make it more comfortable and save energy.
NatHERS enables the design of a home to be assessed by skilled professionals using sophisticated computer modeling programmes to improve the quality of design and achieve building approvals.
NatHERS sets national standards for professionals offering assessment services as well as the software they use.
