Benefits of Using JV3 Modelling

-

 


JV3 modelling is the alternative solution for architects and project owners to plan and develop creative building designs while fulfilling sustainability requirements. 

JV3 modelling was introduced as a building performance solution in 2006 for successfully achieving building compliance where the DtS solution isn’t feasible or practical. 

With project owners and building designers gradually comprehending the versatility and power of the process, the JV3 assessment method is gaining popularity. 

Easy and simple projects including single-storey structures, slab on ground, simple office spaces do not get affected by using the DtS method of compliance. However, most buildings excluding the categories mentioned previously should utilize the benefits and practicality of the JV3 protocol. 

Get your JV3 assessment and BASIX report prepared by expert professionals to avoid complications and ensure the smooth flow of your project.

Benefits of Using JV3 Modelling 

Offer Cost-Effective Solutions For Flexible Design Choices

When the JV3 assessment is utilised correctly, it offers a considerable cost-effective solution for your commercial built environment. 

The fundamental area to save costs while improving your building performance includes glazing and insulation. Some insulation applications can involve a significant expenditure, for example, under slab insulation in warm or hot climatic zones. 

Climate zones 1, 2, and 3 specified by ABCB Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) constitute hot climatic conditions. In such zones, shaded undercrofts and external shading can significantly impact your building’s energy performance than undercroft insulation. 

By utilising JV3 modelling, you can determine the impacts of your design elements on your building performance. After comparing the energy consumption with the reference DtS building, you can eliminate the under-croft insulation.

Practical Insulation Solution

JV3 assessment offers beneficial internal wall insulation solutions, especially in fire-rated constructions.

Generally, fire-rated materials aren’t good insulators. Hence a double-walled structure is required with the DtS method. One to comply with the fire rating standards and a second wall attached to the first for complying with BCA Section J requirements. 

This can become excessively expensive during construction and also increase the overall carbon footprint of the building. 

With JV3 assessment, an alternate design solution can be prepared for compliance and prevent unnecessary penalties and complications of DtS provisions.

Allows Determining The Pros And Cons Of Your Building Design 

The JV3 simulation process enables you to directly assess and determine the benefits of the positive design elements and negative aspects of your building components. By understanding the pros and cons, you can save design, construction, and operational costs in your building design. 

The JV3 method doesn’t restrict building materials or design concepts like DtS protocols. You can attain a balanced building performance by reducing insulation in certain building areas while improving the performance at places where the materials will provide a greater impact. 

Gire professionals and push forward your commercial project with JV3 modelling.

The climate goal for everyone is pretty clear, and it is to make a climate sustainable for living beings. Which further can be elaborated as, making efforts to reduce the carbon footprints and harmful emissions. A major contribution to this pollution is done by the houses and guess what, the architects & house planners have already started mapping out ways in which they can reduce the emission and make the place more sustainable. Urbanization is putting both, human and ecological health at stake, and it is high time that we come up with the solution. Enhancing building’s efficiency was a highly overlooked task, but recently a lot of advancement and alternation in building type and style is drawing everyone’s attention. These changes will enhance the healthiness in life, increase productivity and maximize the natural light. BASIX certificate , an initiative by the NSW government, plans to create homes and buildings that will reduce the water consumption, greenhouse emissio

The commercial building sector contributes to a considerable economic and environmental impact within a nation. Therefore, the Australian government introduced NABERS Rating to support sustainable developments in the commercial sector.  The NABERS star rating has helped developers, project owners, managers and commercial space tenants throughout the Australian subcontinent to understand the ecological impact of a building so that they can enhance their sustainability performance, enjoy financial savings and improve brand reputation in the building industry.  So What Exactly Is NABERS?  National Australian Built Environment Rating System, commonly known in the construction industry as NABERS, is a national sustainability rating system that evaluates buildings, tenancy and overall structure's environmental performance. The NABERS Energy rating is managed across the country by the NSW Office of Environment And Heritage.  A NABERS star rating indicates how well a building is construct
