As energy compliance becomes increasingly stringent, JV3 modelling emerges as a crucial tool for achieving sustainable building outcomes and meeting the demands of future codes.

Avoiding common pitfalls in JV3 assessments can save time, money and ensure compliance. Learn the key mistakes to avoid and how Certified Energy can streamline the process.

Discover how JV3 modelling empowers architects with unparalleled design flexibility, surpassing the limitations of DTS or Section J compliance in the construction industry.

Unlock the potential of your commercial construction projects with JV3 energy assessments as a streamlined compliance pathway under the National Construction Code (NCC).

To ensure a seamless approval process that doesn't hold you down or end up costing more than it should, it's critical to determine which compliance technique works best for the development early on.
In this article, we're going to discuss:

A JV3 Report is an alternative assessment method for non-residential buildings which uses a reference building to compare the overall assumed energy consumption of new buildings with respect to their location and climate. Whereas, alternatively a Section J Report offers a simpler assessment and is more suitable for less complex projects. 

What’s the difference between a Section J and JV3?

The National Construction Code (NCC) 2019 has brought in a raft of changes including a facade calculator which will assist in providing compliance for wall and glazing provisions. This will make the process for JV3 reports amongst other certifications to continue to reduce the carbon footprint for future building plans.
