BASIX (Building Sustainability Index) is a web-based tool used in New South Wales, Australia to assess the environmental impact of residential developments. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption by setting minimum requirements for energy efficiency, water efficiency, and thermal comfort. BASIX applies to all new residential developments in NSW, including houses, townhouses, and apartments. 

NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) is a star rating system used in Australia to rate the energy efficiency of residential buildings. It assesses the thermal performance of a building and provides a rating out of ten stars. The higher the star rating, the more energy-efficient the building is. NatHERS is used to comply with energy efficiency requirements in the National Construction Code (NCC) and is mandatory for all new residential buildings in Australia. 

A residential thermal performance report is a document that assesses the energy efficiency of a residential dwelling. It includes information on the thermal performance of the building envelope (walls, roof, windows, etc.), as well as recommendations for improvements that can be made to improve energy efficiency. 

Design stage advice is an essential part of building a sustainable home. Our team will work with you to ensure that your home is energy-efficient and environmentally friendly. We use passive solar design principles, choose energy-efficient appliances and lighting, and select materials that are renewable and non-toxic. Contact us today to learn more about our sustainable home consulting services. 

Pre-purchase thermal performance inspections are an essential part of buying a home. Our team of experts will assess the energy efficiency of the building and provide you with a detailed report on its thermal performance. Our service includes a summary report detailing the thermal upgrades adopted to achieve a well performing home in summer and winter.

Energy efficiency and sustainability assessments are an essential part of building a sustainable home. Our team of experts will assess the energy efficiency of your building and provide you with a detailed report on its thermal performance. We use leading residential Thermal Performance Assessment software to assess the energy efficiency of residential dwellings. Our service includes a summary report detailing the thermal upgrades adopted to achieve compliance. 

 An As-built verification checks compliance of the  constructed home in accordance with its designed  energy efficiency requirements. 

As-Built airtightness and insulation integrity  testing: > Airtightness testing of the home must  demonstrate that the building’s envelope  permeability rate does not exceed a specified air leakage  rate.

Thermal insulation consistency of the building  envelope must achieve at least 95 per cent  perfect coverage for floors, walls and ceilings. 

Residential resilience reporting is an essential part of ensuring that your building is resilient to natural disasters and other environmental hazards. Our team of experts will assess the resilience of your building and provide you with a detailed report on its resilience. . Our service includes a summary report detailing the upgrades adopted to achieve a resilient home. 

The Section J Report is also required for new building extensions and refurbishments to existing buildings. Energy Efficiency Standard of Section J Reports Energy efficiency is the main standard of Section J Reports which can be used for insulation, building fabric, external glazing performance, building sealing, air-conditioning and ventilation performance, artificial lighting and power performance, heated water supply and spa plant pool and access to energy plants for maintenance.
