We provide three methods of energy compliance for new residential dwellings:

  1. Deemed to Satisfy Elemental Provisions,
  2. NatHERS 6 Star Energy Rating, and
  3. Verification Method, using a Reference Building.

There is no requirement to upgrade existing areas of the dwelling or to construct the additions and/or alterations to a level where the whole house now achieves a 6 Star Energy Rating. 

For this reason, the DTS Elemental Provisions are the usual go-to option for compliance reporting for additions and alterations. 

Commercial buildings have a number of energy compliance options, the two most common are:

  • Deemed to Satisfy Section J Provisions, and
  • JV3 Energy Modelling Verification Method.

We assess building lots in accordance with Australian Standard AS3959 and issue a report detailing the bushfire attack level and subsequent design and construction requirements.

We can provide general advice on Building Legislation, National Construction Code interpretation and Local Government Application Processes.
