DTS or JV3 – Get the right assessment method for your project.

Your project can save time and money just by using the right assessment method.

The National Construction Code allows for Section J compliance using a range of assesment methods – your project should take advantage of this! The “Deemed to Satisfy” (DTS) method is best for most projects, even many complex commercial builds. The JV3 method will give you more flexibility in architectural design, and can also achieve significant build-cost savings.

If you’re not sure what method is approrpriate for your project, we’ll provide the advice to help you decide.

Section J –
it’s worth it!

 

Section J legislation is designed to reduce energy consumption across Australia – and it does just that. Energy efficiency mesasures can reduce electricity consumption by up to 90%. That can translate to millions of dollars saved across the lifetime of a large commercial building.

NCC Legislation

Energy Efficiency requirements for all Australian  Residential and Commercial buildings are set out in the National Construction Code (NCC).   This code is updated every three years by the Australian Building Codes Board, and is adopted with some minor additions by each of the States & Territories.

BERA stays up to date with all major and minor updates to the National Construction Code to ensure our reports effectively show you how to achieve compliance for your project.
