Introducing HomestarTM
Add value to your home or refine your design
A Homestar™ certified rating is an assessment performed by an independent Homestar™ assessor, and confirms how well a home is performing against a set of pre-determined benchmarks within the Homestar™ Tool. A home's performance is represented by a certified 0-10 star rating (10 being the highest available) which can be used to accompany LIM reports. Homestar™ is now the industry standard and creates transparency around a home’s performance. This allows high quality, efficient housing to command a premium on the market. A similar scheme in Australia showed a 3.5% increase in house value with each additional star obtained.
As well as giving objective third party ratings on existing homes, Homestar™ Practitioners can work with architects and designers to maximise performance, sustainability and comfort. Designs can target a certain rating level which can then be certified once built.
