Section J of the National Construction Code (NCC) provides the energy efficiency requirements for all commercial building developments (classes 2 to 9).
Commercial buildings require a NCC Section J Report to accompany the design documents at the construction stage of the Development Application process to demonstrate compliance.
The Section J report provides the energy efficiency requirements for the building by assessing the design elements of the proposed development against the Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) provisions of the NCC.
Sections covered are:
- Part J1 – Building fabric
- Part J2 – Glazing
- Part J3 – Building sealing
- Part J6 – Artificial lighting and power
- Part J7 – Heated water supply and swimming pool and spa pool plant
- Part J8 – Facilities for energy monitoring
