Energy efficiency is crucial for all new homes and commercial buildings to comply with the National Construction Code (NCC) and, Queensland Development Code (QDC). At Green at Heart, we specialise in providing comprehensive energy efficiency assessments to ensure your project meets these stringent requirements. Our expertise helps designers and builders achieve compliance, resulting in sustainable and cost-effective buildings.
Our Energy Rating Services
Residential Projects
For residential projects, a seven-star energy rating plus a whole of home assessment is mandatory to fulfil the minimum energy efficiency standard. At Green at Heart, we conduct thorough energy efficiency assessments and provide an Energy Star Rating Certificate along with stamped plans for submission to the Council or your private certifier. Should your new build or renovation fall short of the required rating, we offer actionable suggestions to ensure compliance. Our assessments utilise BERS Pro Plus, First Rate 5 software, BASIX, and Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) methods to calculate star ratings and compliance.
Commercial Projects
Commercial buildings require energy efficiency ratings in accordance with Section J of the Building Code of Australia (BCA), applicable to Class 2 to 9 buildings. We provide detailed reports that indicate compliance with the thermal performance component of Section J, J1 - J4 of the BCA. These reports are essential and must be accompanied by documentation from your electrical and mechanical engineers covering artificial cooling and lighting.
