Australian Capital Territory Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards for Rentals
The ACT Government has introduced a regulation and explanatory statement under the Residential Tenancies Act 1997 to require all residential rental properties in the ACT to meet a new minimum energy efficiency standard for ceiling insulation. Many renters in the ACT are living in poor quality housing that is expensive to heat or cool and doesn’t meet our community’s expectation around having a suitable home to help maintain health, comfort, security, and happiness. The minimum energy efficiency standards for rental homes will help improve energy performance, increase thermal comfort, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and contribute to climate change resilience.
