BASIX Pathway

Credit 15C - GHG Emissions Reduction - Up To 16 Points Available

Up to 16 points are available where a BASIX certificate is used to demonstrate that the predicted building GHG emissions have been reduced compared to a dwelling or residence. This pathway may only be applied to residential projects located in New South Wales. Our diverse team of Professionals include, Architects, Engineers and ESD Specialists. We have been around long enough to work on all possible project types. See our Past Projects. Deemed to satisfy as our team goes through 100's Section J reports every year.

BASIX pathway

This method applies to Class 2 multi-unit residential dwellings, the immediate adjacent areas used to access the dwellings and areas which provide common amenities for use by residents only. This method can only be used for projects located in New South Wales. Class 1 dwellings can also use this method; however, the relevant clauses will need to be adapted to the relevant BASIX compliance criteria applicable to this type of buildings and their construction.

Compliance Requirements

Project teams must demonstrate that a BASIX report has been issued to the Building Certifier at time of Building Approval demonstrating that the project aggregate cooling and heating demand, as calculated using a NatHERS-accredited calculation tool, achieves at least a 10% reduction relative to the maximum allowable aggregate heating and cooling energy for the project climate region as per the BASIX thermal comfort compliance criteria. This 10% reduction applies to both development average and to the worst-case dwelling performance.

15C.1 BASIX GREENHOUSE GAS REDUCTIONS

Up to 16 points are available under this pathway. Points are awarded on a continuous scale for the greenhouse gas emissions reduction of the project through improved thermal performance, and more efficient building services, appliances and equipment.

Performance at least 10% better than the maximum allowable BASIX greenhouse gas emissions rate (i.e. exceeding the Conditional Requirement) is rewarded by the credit. Points are calculated using the Green Star – Design & As Built: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Calculator. The following table provides a guide to the approximate points that can be awarded.

Points are awarded on a continuous scale to 1 decimal place for greenhouse gas emissions reduction. Final rounding to a whole number occurs in the Green Star total score calculation.

Projects which have committed to procure Off-site renewable electricity can be rewarded for supporting grid-connected renewable energy supply infrastructure. Points available for Off-site renewable electricity procurement are included in the maximum 16 points available under this pathway.

  • 2 points are awarded where at least 6 points in this pathway have been achieved and a supply contract is in place to procure at least 50% of the building’s electricity consumption through Off-site renewable electricity solutions.

  • 5 points are awarded where at least 10 points in this pathway have been achieved and a supply contract is in place to procure 100% of the building’s electricity consumption through Off-site renewable electricity solutions.

The length of time of the commitment is for a minimum period of ten years after Practical Completion.

Points awarded under this credit element cannot count towards meeting the Minimum Requirement for 5 and 6 star ratings.
