Today we’re excited to launch our Clean Energy Home Loan.
At Bank Australia, we love homes that have an energy rating of 7+ stars. Why is that?
A house that has an energy rating of 7+ stars is:
- Able to keep cool in summer without ‘artificial cooling’ like air conditioning
- Able to keep warm in winter without ‘artificial heating’ like a heater
- Uses less electricity
- Made of higher quality materials
- Designed to work with its environment
And all of this helps reduce emissions and fight the climate crisis.
So, what does a beautiful, energy efficient house look like? Take a look below.

This beautiful suburban house, designed and built by Mirage Homes, incorporates reverse brick veneer and polished concrete floors to provide thermal mass that soaks up heat during the day and releases it when the temperature drops. Due to these sustainable features, the house is rated 7.5 stars by the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS).
