Find your way with Section J: Apply mechanical services codes and standards to HVAC system design
As an industry professional you carry a tremendous responsibility to
understand and implement the regulations and technical provisions of
the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
AIRAH is offering you an ‘all you need to know’ guide to
building control in Australia and the legislative processes for building
designs and approvals through our BCA seminar.
Seminar summary
Industry best practice requirements for energy efficient HVAC design
and operation.
This one day seminar provides an analysis and open discussion of Section J of the Building Code of Australia (BCA) 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 and the two prominent environmental rating tools used in today’s non residential market, NABERS (National Australian Building Environment Rating System) scheme and Green Star, are appraised to identify their implication on energy efficient HVAC design.
Key topics
The course consists
of three key topics that address the various aspects
of the codes and standards for HVAC systems design. These include:
• Australian codes and standards
• Section J of the Building Code of Australia• Deemed to Satisfy
• Verification Methods• Australian standards relating to HVAC design
• NABERS* (National Australian Built Environment Rating System)
• NABERS and its role in benchmarking environmental performance of
class 5 office buildings.
• GreenStar and the Green Building Council of Australia
• Requirements of the GreenStar protocol for Office Design version 2.0
that may impact on HVAC design.
• Interactive workshop - case study (Applying principles discussed above to a case study).
*ABGR – is now known as NABERS
