Discover the new Energy Efficiency Compliance Assessment J1V5 for apartment buildings under NCC 2022 Section J. This newly added pathway is set to help promote sustainable practices and maximise energy efficiency. Let SUHO show you the key benefits of this assessment and how it can elevate your apartment building projects.
Apartment buildings have unique energy usage patterns and challenges compared to other types of constructions. Unlike the previous modelling method, using FirstRate5 (FR5) for a NatHERS rating by assessing each apartment, J1V5 Energy Efficiency Assessment focuses on the overall energy efficiency of your apartment building. This holistic evaluation goes beyond individual components by taking into account the whole building envelope, lighting, HVAC systems, and other critical aspects. By focusing on performance rather than Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) compliance requirements, the pathway allows flexibility in meeting energy efficiency goals while ensuring compliance with the NCC 2022 Section J.
One of the core components of the J1V5 pathway is verification of the thermal performance of the apartment building's envelope. This includes walls, roofs, floors, and glazing, ensuring effective insulation and reduced heat transfer. By implementing robust thermal performance measures, apartment buildings can minimise reliance on heating and cooling systems, resulting in significant energy savings and reduced carbon emissions.
SUHO understands the importance of transparency and accountability in the construction industry. That's why our Energy Efficiency Compliance Assessment streamlines the compliance documentation process, making it seamless and hassle-free. With SUHOs comprehensive documentation package, you can demonstrate your compliance with the energy efficiency standards outlined in NCC 2022 Section J, impressing regulatory authorities and instilling confidence in stakeholders.
Embrace the future of construction by leveraging its performance-based approach, optimising thermal performance, and maximising the efficiency of lighting and HVAC systems. And with streamlined compliance documentation, your building will be on track toward the net-zero goal. Join the movement and unlock unparalleled success as a leader in sustainable construction practices.
Together, let's reshape the future of apartment buildings with energy efficiency as our guiding principle.
