Westpac is proud to be the first major Australian bank collaborating with the Australian Government and CSIRO on the Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme (NatHERS) trial for existing homes. The scheme aims to help Aussies better understand how they’re using energy in their home and to identify a range of upgrades available that could lower their energy bills and emissions and improve comfort of living. The program is now live for select Westpac customers looking to refinance or top-up their home loan. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gRsmDdgC.
