We're all familiar with the idea of adding an extension or a pool to increase the value of our home. But what about your homes energy efficiency - or lack of it?

We are moving into a new era where the energy efficiency and carbon credentials of your home will soon play a significant role in how much your home will be worth. 

And my next guest, Allys Todd is the co-founder and CEO of a Proptech helping homeowners - and property industry professionals - as this becomes reality. 

Val.ai is a new startup whose AI is able to help valuers, financial institutions and insurance companies understand the climate risk inside their residential property portfolios with a complimentary product that provides the data and insights to home owners to understand what they need to do to make their home more energy efficient and the payback they can expect when they take action. 

And with the large majority of Australia's existing residential housing stock rated only 2 stars out of an expected 7, upgrading our existing homes to make them more energy efficient and affordable to run is going to play a huge role in helping Australia hit our climate and carbon reduction targets.
