We need to be doing everything we can. and we need to go all the way back to green fields being designed into estates that provide the maximum number of long north sided blocks for best solar advantage. That may meal a few less blocks to sell for more profit but it is fundamental.

Can we use both? and increase to include all homes rented or sold.
Please explain your response and provide additional information to support your view.
I believe all homes, units, appartments should come withan energy assessment. For rental information or purchase information. And as we gather this we can eventually cover every living place so all will have an energy consumption benchmark.

Question 12
Please provide any additional information in the space provided.
This information on each and every dwelling, be it house, unit appartment, will become a must have when selling or buying. The general public need considerable education on this too as many folks when you mention "Solar" talk about hot water systems! We need the efficiency of our homes to become as common lingo as what the roof in constructed of. but with the understanding of how important it is for our comfort and our wallets and for the enviromnetal impact we are having.
