E11. Achieving the 6 star energy rating (Part 2)

Welcome to the Building Design, Prime Time Podcast! This week Frank and Amelia welcome a special guest Toby who is a Thermal Performance Assessor. Toby explains ways to achieve the six star minimum energy requirements of a home and how this affects the heating and cooling of the home.  Toby also discusses with Frank and Amelia the implications of a home that performs poorly and how it can create an unhealthy home.  This episode was discussed in great detail and so we have broken the podcast down into two parts. This episode is part 2 of 2 from the previous episode.  So enjoy the second and final partto this podcast as we talk about energy ratings and achieving the 6 star minimum requirement (applicable in Tasmania).  Toby is one of several sub-consultants that we use to help us in the design phase of the process.  Enjoy listening to part 2 with Toby the energy guy!If you are looking for a Thermal Performance Assessor and would like to get in touch with Toby you can contact him at Torple Energy Ratings About usPrime Design is a building design company locally owned and operated in Tasmania since 2004.  Our goal is to share as much valuable information as possible about the process of building design, extensions, and more.
