Eco Certificates

  Passive House is defined as a scientifically supported and evidence-based building standard that minimises energy consumption and improves health-based standards.  Passive House Certification involves implementing smart designs and following rigorous methodology. With NSW Government actively promoting zero-energy homes through updated BASIX standards, Passive House principles are becoming increasingly popular in Australia.  BASIX assessment is mandatory in NSW for securing Development Applications. Without the BASIX report, your residential project won't be eligible for legal sanctioning. What Components Are Accessed For Passive House Standards?  Thermal Comfort  In a Certified Passive House building, the internal temperatures must always remain below 25°C for more than 10% of the hours annually.  Interior surface temperature of external walls and roofs cannot be greater than 1 °C below the indoor air temperature,  Additionally, interior window surfaces must be less than 3.5 °C

  What is BASIX? The Building Sustainability Index, commonly known as BASIX, is an NSW Government initiative that aims at reducing the use of water and electrical power by defining sustainability targets for new and remodeled homes.  The BASIX certificate was introduced for three reasons:  To work on upgrading the lifestyle of the people of NSW Safeguarding the climate  Maintaining a solid economy Basix identifies various components of residential dwellings, including thermal comfort, water intake and energy consumption capacity, location, construction size and many other important elements to provide the occupants with green and economic living conditions.  Wondering what was the impact of the BASIX report and certificate? BASIX has eliminated 12.3 million tonnes of greenhouse gas from entering our air in the past 17 years. The homes that meet the BASIX requirements are collectively estimated to have saved 340 billion liters of potable water and reduced emissions equivalent to 12.3 m

  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 Solution
