Bryn Dellar
In 2010, Bryn oversaw the development of the “Energy Makeovers Roadmap”, a comprehensive NatHERS-based thermal and appliance assessment for existing homes, in anticipation of the introduction of “residential mandatory disclosure”.
In 2015, Energy Inspection purchased the BERS Pro software from Holgar Willwarth and funded its reaccreditation by the NatHERS Administrator.
Also in 2015 Energy Inspection commenced a new research and development project in partnership with CSIRO, to build a new, web based dwelling design software tool / platform for the global market. This technology is called “Aridian” and it is expected to come into the Australian market in 2020. Bryn holds a BE (Civil) and an MBA from the University of Western Australia.

Since joining Sustainability Victoria in early 1999, Ian has worked on a range of partnership programs coordinating the Energy Task Force, the National Framework for Energy Efficiency and the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target Scheme. He has represented Victoria on the national Equipment Energy Efficiency (E3) Program, which oversees mandatory standards and labelling for appliances and equipment, since 2002.
Over the last decade, Ian has managed a range of projects investigating the energy efficiency upgrade potential of Victoria’s existing housing stock. In 2016, Ian worked with consultants to develop SV’s initial Zero Net Carbon modelling tool. This led to a successful proposal for SV’s ZNC pilot program with three volume home builders. Ian is an active participant in current national discussions about whole-of-house modelling tools under the NatHERS framework.
