BCA Section J – Building Code of Australia

It is a mandatory requirement that all Australian building projects comply with the Building Code of Australia, with Section J relating to ‘Energy Efficiency’.

A thorough report must be completed at the Development Approval (DA) stage and construction certification stage to demonstrate the ways in which energy & greenhouse gas emissions are reduced through the implementation of energy efficiency measures.

We provide support through the entire process, delivering a complete, in-depth compliance report to ensure a timely approval/certification process for your sustainable project.

Green Star is a voluntary rating system for sustainable building design in Australia, helping to improve environmental efficiency in buildings.

Whether you're a building owner or tenant, Renyi sustainable building consultants will guide you seamlessly through the detailed Green Star application framework, consulting with your builders and designers to ensure that your project meets the ‘approval rating criteria’.

Green Star certification for communities, design/as built, interior or performance will enhance your environmental reputation whilst minimising your ecological footprint, adding value to your workplace environment for years to come.

NABERS

NABERS (National Australian Built Energy Rating System) is a mandatory national rating system that measures the environmental performance of Australian buildings and tenancies through their energy & water usage, waste management and indoor environment quality.

NABERS is a star rating system that assists you, as a property owner or tenant, to improve the sustainable performance of your dwelling so that you can reap financial benefits and build on your environmental reputation.

You can rest easy, knowing that our experienced, sustainable building consultants, in Sydney have you covered, delivering your detailed certification and consultancy report to ensure an efficient approval process.

BASIX

BASIX (Building Sustainability Certificate) is a mandatory assessment tool in NSW, introduced to ensure that residential dwellings and developments are meeting efficiency targets in relation to water and energy use. It is a compulsory component of your residential Development Application, obligatory in all stages of development for alterations and additions over fifty thousand dollars, including pools and new dwellings.

By engaging Renyi sustainable building consultants, you can be certain that your home project complies with all BASIX criteria, from lighting, ventilation and heating/cooling to dwelling orientation and insulation.

Combining our experience in sustainable building design with our true eye for detail, Renyi green building consultants, Sydney provides you with a comprehensive assessment, advice and certification reports to ensure your structure is compliant with the mandatory regulations.
