Assess NCC 2025 Section J energy efficiency by climate zone - fabric, glazing, HVAC, mandatory solar PV and EV provisioning.
Select the climate zone and building class and the Section J tool sets out the NCC 2025 requirements: building-fabric R-values, glazing ratio, U-value and SHGC limits, HVAC efficiencies, lighting power densities, mandatory solar PV and EV-charging provisioning, and condensation management.
It also estimates the additional cost of meeting NCC 2025 over the NCC 2022 baseline, highlighting where the 2025 provisions have increased.
The Section J Energy tool is a professional aid. Verify all outputs against the current National Construction Code and the relevant Australian Standards, and have them certified by a suitably qualified practitioner before use.
