Green Building Objective Is Now in Your Hands

This code is applied during the certification stage. Currently, this standard is 6 Star, where Northern territory and Tasmania has yet not reached the 6 Star mark. The BASIX Report is also important to estimate the energy efficiency of the building.

  1. Green Building Objective Is Now in  Your Hands    The main aim of most of the builders and property developers is to comply with the                   regulations of building sustainability standards. If you wish that your residence         remains green and energy-efficient, then you have to design your property from the           beginning to achieve the high green ratings. This will also include the process of site             procurement. You can also work with a reputed consultant to get help with the               design, development, and architecture of your building. This way, you can create a           sustainable building at a reasonable cost. These assessors have the knowledge of           thermal design, building science, and sustainability which can provide you with           effective building solutions.     If you wish to get the development rate under Green star, you must ensure a broader                 green outcome of your residential dwelling. You must also register your building from           the Green Building Council of Australia.                                                                                                                                                              

  2. Understand the Green Benchmarks    First of all, you must know various green benchmarks to reach that level. The               application of the process is dependent on the state where the development is taking             place. Moreover, the ​National Construction Code assures consistent energy efficiency regulations across Australia by using the star-rating system. This code is applied           during the certification stage. Currently, this standard is 6 Star, where Northern           territory and Tasmania has yet not reached the 6 Star mark. The ​BASIX Report is also important to estimate the energy efficiency of the building.                                                                                                                 Achieving Building Regulations Standards    The compliance is achieved under BCA section J standard of government by following             the two pathways;    ● Determining star rating through Thermal Modelling  ● Deemed-to-comply method      The above-given methods have calculations for glazing compliance. Thermal         modelling uses software such as AccuRate, First Rate Pro and BERS Pro to get the           greater capacity to model complex designs and various multi-residential premises.    In New South Wales, BASIX is employed in the stage of Development approval without                 using the star rating system. BASIX is also a definite standard that involves the               benchmark for lighting energy, water energy, and various appliances. The problem of           energy resources is not just in NSW, other states are also going through the shortage.    If you wish to follow the high green standard for your residence, the thermal                 simulation method is the appropriate choice for you. Reason? In the thermal           simulation method, the design is presented in a more comprehensive way. The           designer has the scope to change the building fabric and see its impact on the               building rating. The mixed-use developments and multi-residential developments         must also have to follow the BCA Section J Assessment at the construction certificate                   stage. You can also carry out assessment practices in the BASIX DIY tool to get the               assessment through a thermal simulation approach.                                                                                                                                                                                   

  3. What are the services included for Green Residential Building?    The following are the services included for making efforts for Green Building;    ● AccuRate Thermal Simulation Service- States Other than NSW  ● BASIX alterations and additions  ● BASIX assessment service with a Thermal Simulation method for NSW    AccuRate Thermal Simulation Method    There are many functions to be accomplished when one is planning for             complying with green standards using the thermal simulation method.      ● Create a thermal performance model of the given design by using the       AccuRate Thermal simulation software. This helps in creating many     designs at one time;    ● Develop a progress report for thermal modelling, including all the         recommendations of change in the design as per the Thermal comfort       Star Rating benchmark;    ● Implement value management in the process if it is required;    ● Ensure there are details and specification in the quality of the final         drawings;    ● Do not forget to develop ABSA assessor certificate;    ● Include electronic stamping of various drawings and certificates;    ● It is vital to create a cover report which is attached to construction               certificate documents.      The thermal simulation service has a basic fee for making the drawing and copies of             the building design. Moreover, these fees are completely dependent on the                                                                                                                                            

  4. complexity and size of the proposed building. As multi-residential design require a             comprehensive value management process, NCC has some specified concessions       regarding it.                            BASIX Assessment Service with Thermal Simulation   ● Develop a thermal performance model of the given design by using the thermal         simulation software. This also includes the efficiency to operate different         thermal design functions;                                  ● The data is integrated into the BASIX by considering the online model with             drawings and data;                  ● Develop a progress report for BASIX modelling and thermal simulation by           considering various recommendations     specifications to comply with the BASIX standard;              and       of   changes in   the   design     ● The thermal balancing of each unit must be done to meet the ​BASIX Certificate​​development performance;                              ● Implement the value management, if required, in the process;   

  5. ● Prepare a BASIX and ABSA certificate;    ● Check the quality of final drawings to assure that specifications and details are             mentioned appropriately;                  ● The electronic stamping of certificates and drawing must be done;    ● Also, prepare the cover report with certificates of DA documents.    The units must succeed in the individual benchmark or the lower average benchmark               for the whole development process. There will be the requirement of many software             to comply with the given standard or the specification.    The value management is required to comply with the rough design or one can find             the best performance with easy buildability and minimal cost, mostly when           sustainability standards are high.                                                            Risk of Condensation  The new designs of NCC do not have condensation in the building fabric. One can also                 take assistance to eliminate the risk of condensation. It is advisable to prefer some               changes when there is a risk of condensation.                                 Codes of Practice  All the above practices are governed by the Code of Practice of Association of Building               Sustainability Assessors (ABSA). Both BASIX Thermal Comfort and BCA Star ratings are           issued under the authority of ABSA. ABSA provides various professional development               programs ​to assure that consultants are updated with green building standards.                                       We hope with the above-given information, you can get ideas on how to go green. By           employing these easy ways, you can create a sustainable residence for your healthy             living.
