The National Construction Code (NCC) contains energy efficiency provisions that apply to Class 2 to 9 NCC standard definition buildings. A compliance report (commonly known as a Section J or Part J Report) is required before construction commences for new buildings and for alterations and additions. This is usually included in the construction certificate (CC) documentation.
The most common methodology used for evaluating compliance is called Deemed-to-Satisfy (DTS). A DTS based Section J report ensures that the design meets the DTS provisions in the NCC.
Most designs are successfully assessed using the DTS method, however Verification Method JV3 is an alternative solution when increased flexibility is required and DTS fails.
The assessment must be performed by an experienced and qualified energy efficiency consultant to minimise the risk of any non-complying issues. We follow the core NCC Section J structure of the NCC Volume 1 and add several sections and sub sections to produce a professional NCC Section J Report for each building type.
