  1. When and Why Should You Use JV3 Modelling? Over the past several years, the Australian Building Code Board (ABCB) has been making efforts to evolve the country's building policies and the National Construction Code (NCC) 's sustainable standards into a performance-based compliance system. If you work in the building and construction industry, you might have heard the term' performance-based coding.' But what is it? Performance-based coding solutions such as JV3 Modelling were introduced to quantify more innovative building designs while complying with sustainability guidelines. The modern performance-based coding solution uses a top-down approach and provides overarching standards. And you or your building experts can demonstrate how the tailored approach fulfils and complies with those standards. You can comply with the BCA Section J using JV3 modelling and conducting the JV3 compliance assessment. In this article, you will learn about the JV3 modelling approach and its benefits. What is the JV3 Modelling Approach?

  2. A JV3 Modelling approach is a performance solution that helps buildings comply with Volume 1 of the National Construction Code (NCC). It involves an entire building stimulation approach for determining its performance compared to a reference Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS) building. When and Why to Use JV3 Modelling? JV3 Modelling simulations provide greater flexibility in designing a building. Simply put, with this approach, you can underperform the energy efficiency features in specific areas and balance the standard energy efficiency requirements by overperforming in other places. It can be advantageous, especially when considering renovating or modifying the building. When renovating and upgrading an existing building, there might be several factors why you couldn't change the features. In addition, it might be impossible to eliminate certain features in new constructions for various reasons. Such conditions can include: Cost-effective solutions Even when two or more buildings have the same design, each can vary in terms of energy performance. Some features in one building might be cost-effective, and the same features might prove extremely costly in another. With JV3 assessment, you can improve energy performance and introduce cost-effective sustainability measures while reducing performance in design areas where the construction cost can be extremely high. Building consultants can also help you identify cost-effective solutions for the BASIX certificate required in residential projects. Restoring heritage requirements You might not find upgrading specific parts in the heritage building practical or feasible because of DtS constraints. JV3 modelling can help you ignore those certain areas and boost energy performance scores in unrestricted areas. Eliminate design constraints

  3. When looking forward to meeting the energy efficiency standards specific to the government, you will need more room to implement a better-performing design feature. However, you might not consider accommodating a design element like thicker insulation in the building's roof since you have strict RLs. JV3 Modelling can help you compensate for energy performance elsewhere. Allow better aesthetics If you strive to construct a state-of-the-art landmark-type project, you must consider your project's vision and design aims. For instance, you want to install stained glass windows, but these windows or glazings usually perform poorly. Moreover, it's impractical and costly to install the double-glazed stained glass windows without ruining the building's aesthetics. In such a case, the JV3 modelling approach can help you include this design feature without compromising aesthetics and the overall energy efficiency of your building. To sum up it all JV3 modelling is an excellent approach to fulfil the BCA Section J compliance. This computer-based simulation can help measure the overall energy-related performance of a building. Moreover, with this approach, project owners can use design elements that might not otherwise comply with the conventional DtS requirements and balance this energy loss by compensating in another area in the building design. When considering conducting a JV3 assessment or wanting a NABERS or BASIX Certificate for your building project, consider collaborating with an accredited assessor to streamline the assessment process and paperwork.
