A survey of expert building modellers was undertaken to understand how the industry utilises provision (b) under verification method JV3 in the National Construction Code (Volume 1).
The Use of renewable energy to trade-off energy efficiency requirements in Section J of the National Construction Code report captures industry insights on the uptake of renewable energy used to trade-off performance of façades and services for proposed new commercial buildings that seek to verify compliance against verification method JV3 of Section J (Energy Efficiency) under Volume 1 of the National Construction Code.
The survey asked respondents to consider rooftop PV, Building Applied PV (BAPV) and Building Integrated PV (BIPV) in building simulation models and factors that contribute to decision-making on the use of PV on commercial buildings.
