Introduction

In Australian commercial construction, energy efficiency is more than a trend—it's a necessity. Stricter regulations now demand sustainable practices to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Central to this effort is the Section J report, part of the National Construction Code (NCC).

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.
