Included in your 7 Star home

Many elements in a home contribute to how it achieves its thermal energy rating, including the climate zone of where you build in NSW and ACT, how you optimise the orientation of your home on your block, and the inclusions factored into your build. This makes your new home unique in achieving the required 7 Stars. 

To give you more certainty and peace of mind when looking for a builder, McDonald Jones will include everything you need to reach BASIX 7 Star compliance to any of our standard designs, which also builds in more value into your home right from the start.

At McDonald Jones, we are committed to building better, so for no extra cost, your 7-Star inclusions will include:

  • Double glazing to windows and doors throughout
  • Ceiling fans in all bedrooms
  • R6.0 ceiling insulation (house area only)
  • Whirlybirds and roof vents

PLUS, enjoy added comfort with our design-specific inclusions:

Single Storey

  • R2.2 insulation to the external walls of habitable rooms
  • R1.3 foil blanket to Colorbond roof

Two Storey

  • R2.2 insulation to the external walls of habitable rooms
  • R2.2 insulation throughout all internal walls
  • R4.1 subfloor insulation
  • R1.8 foil blanket to Colorbond roof

What is 7 Star?

The Australian Government has committed to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. This promise has led to the announcement of changes to the National Construction Code along with an increase in the BASIX standards for energy use and thermal performance for all new home builds in New South Wales. On 1 October 2023, the energy rating requirement for new homes increased from 5.5 stars to 7 stars.
