Specifies the design requirements for new building work, as required by the National Construction Code (NCC) and the Disability (Access to Premises—Buildings) Standards (Premises Standards), to provide access for people with disabilities.

Sets out procedures for the selection and installation of glass in buildings, subject to wind loading, human impact, and special applications. Glass strength is specified, based on the tensile stresses on the surface of the glass.

The objective of this rapid review is to locate and summarise published peer-reviewed review papers, where possible, relating to the retention of biodiversity on private land in urban areas; the main question that this rapid review answers is “How can urban development support biodiversity retention on private lands?”

Specifies site wind speed classes for determining design wind speeds and wind loads for NCC Class 1 and 10 buildings within the geometric limits given in Clause 1.2; the classes are for use in the design of housing and for design, manufacturing and specifying of building products and systems used for housing.

Sets out requirements for materials, construction, installation and glazing for external windows, sliding and swinging glazed doors, including French and bi-fold doors, adjustable louvres, shopfronts and window walls with one-piece framing elements.

Specifies requirements for the construction of buildings in bushfire-prone areas in order to improve their resistance to bushfire attack from burning embers, radiant heat, flame contact and combinations of the three attack forms.

This paper presents various indicators that track the performance of the construction sector.

Sustainable building design should consider durability, affordability, resource conservation, intra and intergenerational social equity aspects, and stakeholder’s perspective throughout its service life; this research has applied life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) framework to estimate the sustainability performance in terms of a single score, and to identify avenues for sustainability improvement strategies of buildings.

This paper examines sustainable environmental solutions in domestic plumbing.
