Why Commercial Compliance is Important

In Australia, commercial buildings must comply with energy efficiency standards under the National Construction Code (NCC) Section J. Engaging our consultants early ensures your project meets these requirements, saving you time and reducing costs. Our evaluations highlight methods for enhanced energy performance and thermal comfort.

JV3 Verification and DTS Compliance

We offer both the JV3 Verification Method (Performance-based Pathway), which uses building modelling to identify optimal material pathways and reduce construction costs, and the Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) compliance, a prescriptive approach based on standard minimum specifications. Our reports identify necessary changes early, helping to prevent delays, enhance energy efficiency, and ensure compliance with Section J requirements.

Commercial Optimisation Service

We provide key insights and help you advance your project's performance through strategies like: thermal comfort analysis, material consultation, net-zero analysis (where renewable energy is engaged), and a saleable features report. Our levels of increasing recommendations give you a choice of compliance options from minimum to advanced. The cost of implementing each stage is considered against benefits and budget, ensuring your selection strikes a cost-effective and environmentally friendly balance for your project.

Strategies and Methodologies

Using advanced strategies like energy modelling and incremental rating improvements against cost versus benefit analyses, we tailor solutions for your project. From thermal comfort studies to window-to-wall ratios, our preferred goal is to optimise your building's performance while simultaneously meeting compliance and budgetary requirements. Delivering a greener, more future-focused and saleable outcome.
