NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is the Thermal Comfort Index of a BASIX assessment. It uses thermal simulations to assess the potential thermal comfort of Australian homes on a scale of zero to 10 stars. The more stars, the less likely the occupants will need cooling or heating to stay comfortable.

The rating depends on:

• The layout of the home

• The construction of its roof, walls, windows and floor

• The orientation of windows and shading to the sun’s path and local breezes

• How well these suit the local climate.
