NatHERS boundaries

The analysis script downloads a map of postcodes to NatHERS Climate Zones. It then produces:

  • nathers-zone-names.csv: a map of zone numbers to names
  • naters-zones.csv: a map of postcodes to zone names and numbers
  • nathers-boundaries.geojson: boundaries of zones, with names and numbers attached. This is based on ABS postcode boundaries and the above map of postcodes to zones.

Star ratings

star-ratings.xlsx is a spreadsheet of statistics on the star ratings of houses and apartments in different NatHERS Climate Zones.

There are two sheets in the workbook: one on the average energy star rating, another with the proportion of homes in each energy star rating bucket. star-ratings-average.csv is a tidied CSV of the Average ratings sheet.

Note that all figures in this workbook have been redacted where there are fewer than 10 homes. This particularly affects conclusions in the workbook of proportions, as the raw counts are not available and the proportions appear to be based on the unredacted properties only.

Figures are also provided separately for new builds, renovations and existing dwellings.

New build and renovation data is based on actual certificates issues between 2016 and 2021. Existing dwelling data is simulated by removing energy saving features from the new build and renovation certificate data. Existing dwelling simulations are only available in some areas.

Survey results

These are aggregated results from the Australian Housing Condition Data Infrastructure—specifically questions 12 and 13, concerning the proportion of renters that are able to stay comfortable in summer heat or winter cold. The aggregations are done by NatHERS climate zone.

  • survey-discomfort-summerwinter-wide.csv: the results of Q12 and Q13 are listed for each NatHERS climate zone. Columns include:

    • zone: NatHERS zone number

    • town: NatHERS zone name

    • signif: whether the difference in proportion between summer and winter is statistically significant

    • ntotal_Winter, ntotal_Summer: the number of participants in the question who answered either Yes or No.

    • n_Winter, n_Summer: the number of people who answered No.

    • p_Winter, p_Summer: the proportion of people who answered No.

    • moe_Winter, moe_Summer: the margin of error on the estimate.

    • nlow_Winter, nlow_Summer: the lower bound on the estimated number of people who answered No

    • plow_Winter, plow_Summer: the lower bound on the estimated proportion of people who answered No

    • nhigh_Winter, nhigh_Summer: the higher bound on the estimated number of people who answered No

    • phigh_Winter, phigh_Summer: the higher bound on the estimated proportion of people who answered No

    • balance: the significance of the difference between summer and winter.
