As part of our commitment to sustainability and cost-effectiveness, Home Efficiency Australia and CommBank have joined forces to offer an opportunity for homeowners.

Ally Todd, CEO of Home Efficiency Australia, said:
“Working with CommBank provides a fantastic platform to broaden our reach and offer valuable tools to homeowners. We’re thrilled to collaborate with CommBank to support their customers in making informed decisions about their home’s energy efficiency, leading to savings and a reduced environmental footprint.
By integrating installer connections, we are making it easier for homeowners to implement energy-saving solutions and support their local economy.”
“Households play a critical role in addressing climate change by reducing energy consumption and lowering carbon emissions. The project with CommBank is designed to equip homeowners with the tools needed to implement effective energy-saving measures, making it easier to take meaningful action.”
Dr Michael Baumann, Executive General Manager Home Buying, Commonwealth Bank, said:
“We’re very excited to be working with ValAi to launch our new Home Energy Assessment Tool (HEAT). This new tool not only provides our eligible home-owner customers with information about the energy efficiency of their property, but it also seeks to inform them of the potential financial benefits associated with improving their home’s energy performance.
“While the tool is currently being piloted with a small number of our customers, we look forward to continuing our work with ValAi and rolling this tool out more broadly in due course.”
How it works
CommBank customers can use our Home Energy Efficiency Tool to navigate an easy process for estimating their home’s current energy usage and receive recommendations on improvements.
The tool provides access to a network of installers who can carry out the upgrades.
Supported by the Harvard University STAR Lab behavioural science team research group, and the CommBank Behavioural Science team, the tool incorporates user-centric design principles to effectively guide users through energy-saving decisions
with evidence-based strategies.
