Scorecard Update - Q4, 2022
That's a wrap!
2022 was another successful year for the national Scorecard program!
2022 was another successful year for Scorecard. Through the hard work of our Australia-wide community of Scorecard assessors and applicants we:
accredited 29 new assessors to take us to a national total of 108 accredited Scorecard assessors
assessed over 1,300 homes to take us to a national total of 7,341 homes assessed across Australia
- helped support seven Australian state and territory government residential energy efficiency programs
VEU incentive
Scorecard is to be included as a new activity under the Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program later this year!
The VEU program is a market-based program helping Victorians to cut their power bills and reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by encouraging energy consumers to upgrade to energy efficiency technologies.
The proposal to include a home energy rating assessment activity under VEU received widespread community and stakeholder support. Scorecard was identified as the only tool that currently meets the required features for tools in the activity, and therefore will the first home energy rating assessment tool to be incentivised.
All-electric option now available!
Scorecard recently launched the all-electric tool modification.
The all-electric feature now allows Scorecard assessors to manually set the tool to provide electric only upgrade recommendations for their customers.
Have you been thinking about transitioning your home to all-electric but unsure where to start? With a Scorecard assessment you will get detailed information on your home's energy performance and expert advice from a government accredited assessor, tailored to your home and individual circumstances.
You can find your local Scorecard assessor on our website.
Scorecard acknowledges the support provided by the ACT government in initiating and funding the required modifications to the tool to support all-electric recommendations, the development of associated training resources and production of communications collateral.

Planning a renovation?
If you’re planning a renovation this year, even a small one, it’s worth thinking about how you can take advantage of this opportunity to make your home more resistant to seasonal weather.
A Scorecard assessment can help guide your renovation plans to keep your future energy costs low, make your home more comfortable and lower your home’s environmental impacts.
Plus, the best time to get one is when you’re already planning on making a change to your home.
