COMMERCIAL ENERGY ASSESSMENTS

The commercial department at Sustainability House provides energy assessments of Class 2-9 buildings.

Every new commercial building development, extension or alteration is required to show compliance with the energy efficiency provisions as set out in Section J of the BCA Volume One. An energy efficiency assessment should be requested as part of every building development application.

The most common ways of assessing compliance with Section J are the Deemed-to-Satisfy method and the Verification Method (JV3).

Sustainability House recommends using Verification Method as they allow a broader scope of building design which often results in compliance with significant building cost savings.

 

VERIFICATION METHOD JV3

  • For Class 3 and Class 5-9 buildings, Sustainability House specialises in the use of the JV3 method to show compliance with Section J.
  • This process looks at the predicted annual energy use of a building using thermal analysis software and compares it to a reference building designed to BCA Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions.
  • This comparison allows more flexibility in building design, while still proving compliance.

 

DEEMED-TO-SATISFY

  • Sustainability House can also provide standard DTS compliance reports for Class 2-9 buildings, covering all aspects of Section J (J1-J8).

 

CLASS 2 MULTI-RESIDENTIAL

  • Sustainability House can provide a Class 2 Section J compliance report covering the thermal performance of the building fabric as well as building services.
  • The thermal calculation assessment uses NatHERS second generation rating tools (AccuRate, FirstRate5 or BERS Pro).
