Assists in understanding the energy efficiency provisions in NCC Volume Two that apply to houses.

NatHERS compliance pathway for energy efficiency.

Outlines the peer review process which can be used as a compliance option for assessing the energy equivalence (thermal performance) of new houses and major renovations (where practical) in Queensland.

Explains how NatHERS assessments work and is an essential tool for NatHERS assessors.

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how the BASIX engine works to estimate energy and water consumption in houses and apartments, and how these outputs can be used to inform design decisions.

Assists in understanding the energy efficiency provisions in NCC Volume One that apply to Class 2 apartment buildings.

This Policy is State Environmental Planning Policy (Sustainable Buildings) 2022. (NSW legislation.)

Outlines principles, guidelines and procedures for safe work on or near low-voltage and extra-low voltage electrical installations and equipment; provides a minimum set of procedures, safety requirements and recommendations to manage the hazards associated with electricity, specifically arc blast, arc flash, electric shock, and electrocution.

Specifies the criteria for the selection of portable fire extinguishers and the requirements for their application, location and distribution.

Specifies requirements for electrical installations associated with connectable electrical installations used for the purposes of accommodation, habitation or other residential, commercial purposes or recreational uses that are intended for connection to external low voltage a.c. supply systems (i.e. 50 V a.c. to 1000 V a.c.) by either a detachable supply lead or a supply lead directly connected to the connectable electrical installation; includes requirements and provides guidance for the installation of extra-low voltage systems (i.e. less than 50 V a.c. or 120 V d.c. ripple free).
