BCA - Section J

Design compliance for energy efficiency

"A building, including its services, is to be capable of efficiently using energy.”

This not-to-be-missed one-day course provides an analysis and open discussion of the Section J energy efficiency requirements and a summary of the verification requirements.

Australian Standards related to HVAC design are analysed to determine their impact on energy efficiency. The two prominent environmental rating tools used in today’s non-residential market, NABERS (National Australian Built Environment Rating System) scheme and Green Star, are appraised to identify their implications for energy efficient HVAC design.
