Our engineers are capable of a wide range of Building Compliance services for residential developments, commercial buildings or industrial facilities. Our expertise includes:
SECTION J ASSESSMENTS
BUILDING COMPliance for electrical services design
building compliance for dry fire services design
Section J as per National Construction Code
Section J assessments are regulated by the National Code of Construction (NCC) in regards to energy efficiency for commercial buildings (classification 2-9).
An energy efficiency assessment assesses a building’s conformance against Section J of the NCC. EES can assess residential, commercial, education and industrial classes of buildings and can perform a wide range of assessments including thermal calculation (Verification Method / JV3 assessment) or Deemed-to-Satisfy assessments (minimum requirements).
Deemed to Satisfy
Our Section J assessment will indicate required construction materials to achieve a minimum standard for 'Deemed to Satisfy' provisions as set out in Section J of the NCC.
‘Deemed to Satisfy’ requirements:
J1 – Building Fabric: Ceiling/roof, external walls and floors
J2 – Glazing
J3 – Building Sealing
J6 – Artificial Lighting
J7 – Hot Water Supply and Swimming Pool and Spa Pool Plant
J8 – Access for Maintenance and Facilities for Monitoring
JV3
A Verification Method JV3 thermal calculation reference building assessment simulates the building and compares its annual energy consumption to a complying Reference Building stipulated in the NCC.
The simulated Reference Building is simulated identically to the proposed building except for certain DTS compliant fabrics outlined in the NCC.
