A HOME Efficiency Construction Roadshow is visiting Bright this July as part of a Victorian Government push to ensure the construction industry is skilled in building energy efficient 7-star rated and all-electric homes.
Funded by Solar Victoria, the construction roadshows and webinars are provided by Master Builders Victoria (MBV) and the Housing Industry Association (HIA) to support the residential construction industry.
According to the government, the roadshows cover topics including passive house principles and solar design, how to avoid condensation and address air tightness, energy efficient appliances and building techniques and materials required to deliver better energy efficiency.
The roadshows form part of the government’s Renewable Homes Construction program, launched on Monday, which will provide free training on how to build, design or retrofit homes to make them more energy efficient.
The program will train builders on the new National Construction Code 2022 (NCC) which came into effect on 1 May 2024.
