In partnership with the REA Group, we\u2019ve launched the PropTrack Origin Australian Home Energy Report, analysing the motivations and challenges for Aussies to adopt energy-efficient initiatives at home. The report aims to help understand the sentiment of all Australians, whether they rent or own, towards energy efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Australia\u2019s energy industry is undergoing a period of rapid change, as we collectively strive towards reaching net zero as a nation by 2050. To meet this ambition,<\/em> it\u2019s critical all Australians have access to the resources and education they need so they can embrace cleaner, energy-efficient solutions now and into the future, and feel in control of their energy use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re excited to share, in partnership with REA Group, we have launched the PropTrack Origin Australian Home Energy Report<\/a>, analysing the motivations and challenges for Australians to adopt energy-efficient initiatives at home. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The report<\/a> draws on the views of over 4,500 respondents to the realestate.com.au<\/a> Residential Audience Pulse Survey and information collected from almost 1,500 Origin customers to understand the sentiment of Australian renters and buyers towards energy efficiency<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this report<\/a>, we explore attitudes towards energy within Australian homes, alongside the understanding and appetite for embracing the energy transition<\/a>.\u202fUnderstanding energy, and the future of energy, for Australians has never been more important \u2014 especially at a time where cost of living pressure is having a real impact.\u202f\u202f <\/p>\n\n\n\n For homeowners and renters, the energy transition<\/a> presents different opportunities and challenges with varying abilities to control their energy,<\/a> with features like solar energy<\/a> or upgrading to energy efficient appliances<\/a>. However, there\u2019s a common desire among Australian households to reduce their energy bills<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The majority of renters surveyed for this report place an importance on energy efficiency ratings<\/a>, with a desire to reduce bills<\/a>. Amid record-high home and rental prices, 77% of buyers and 72% of renters valued energy efficiency ratings<\/a> for reducing regular energy bills<\/a> and managing the cost of living. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Among renters, smart appliances proved to be a popular option to enhance energy efficiency at minimal expense, with a quarter of renters surveyed by Origin owning a smart appliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is the PropTrack report?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
