Erica will present an overview of proposed changes to the next edition of the National Construction Code. The National Construction Code sets the minimum required level for the safety, health, amenity, accessibility and sustainability of buildings. Between 1 May and 1 July, the Australian Building Codes Board will be seeking public comments on the proposed changes.
The session will focus on changes being considered in Section J of the Code, which relates to Energy Efficiency. These include more stringent provisions for building fabric and services, mandatory onsite solar photovoltaic systems, and new provisions to facilitate future electrification of buildings with mixed fuel use.
In this session, Brett will outline the proposed changes to AS 1668.2 and what they mean for you & your business.
