In the Building Code of Australia, BCA Section J sets the criteria for a non residential building to meet the energy efficiency requirements of the BCA in order to satisfy the Local Government Area Council of a development for issuing a Construction Certificate. Since the introduction of the BCA 2010, Section J has seen the most significant changes compared to all other sections of the BCA and energy efficiency requirements of this section has become far more stringent compared to previous releases of the BCA. Not only the structure of this section is changed, there are many new technologies and elements in relation to the energy efficiency performance of a commercial building that now must be evaluated versus the BCA Section J requirements.
I have prepared a specific page in my website at BCA Section J 2010 changes which elaborates on the specific changes of the BCA Section J.
I welcome a discussion about this topic from like minded professionals or anyone engaged with the BCA Section J for any reason.
