Cecille Weldon from WeldonCo shares her expertise on the hidden value drivers in property that are transforming the real estate industry, with a focus on energy efficiency features that benefit investors, property managers, and renters alike. 

• Better homes for Australians is Cecille's big "why" and driving passion
• Property professionals are often missing opportunities to showcase valuable energy efficiency features
• The language we use matters – focus on property features rather than ambiguous terms like "sustainability"
• Cost of living concerns affect 100% of potential tenants and buyers, creating opportunity to highlight features that reduce ongoing costs
• Energy efficiency features provide the lifestyle benefits of comfort and reduced running costs
• Banking and financial sectors now offer targeted upgrade loans for energy efficiency features
• Properties without these features are increasingly viewed as risks by lenders
• Quality of the rent roll as a property asset is becoming more important than just cash flow
• Property managers should pivot from "property maintenance" to "property upgrade" mindset
• Replace like-with-like approach needs to be abandoned in favor of strategic upgrades
• Hot water systems represent 26% of energy bills and are a key upgrade opportunity
• New industry-led Prop Tech Energy Efficiency Features Standard bringing consistency to how these features are labeled and tracked
• Competitive advantage comes from positioning as an expert in property quality and performance
• Having the right conversation with investors by speaking to them as investors rather than landlords
