PROPERTY DEVELOPERS & BUILDING DESIGN PROFESSIONALS


Today's marketplace is focused on environmental sustainability and ecologically sustainable design (ESD). Green Star, Section J and NABERS are all now firmly entrenched in the lexicon of our industry. In order for building designs to comply with the Building Code of Australia’s (BCA) energy efficiency requirements, a thermal performance assessment must be carried out certifying that the BCA minimum standards have been met before they can be given Development Approval. Using computer generated modeling, Build Sustainable works with clients to come up with compliant, cost effective solutions which compliment the design of the building.

Further to BCA compliance, Green Star has established itself as the leading tool for defining and benchmarking the environmental performance of building (and fit-out) design in Australia. Based on the premis that by precisely defining ways that good environmental outcomes can be achieved, more sustainable buildings will be produced; Green Star sets stringent compliance requirements and submissions are rigorously assessed by an independent panel of assessors.


Working with Build Sustainable, clients are able achieve a detailed breakdown of their projects Green Star performance and identify strengths and areas where improvement is required. Our experience in Green Star, combined with our overall experience, can provide cost effective answers quickly. 

NABERS, now incorporating ABGR as NABERS Energy for Offices, is the National Australian Built Rating System and is a performance based rating system for existing buildings. Likely to be the basis for any future mandatory disclosure energy rating initiative, NABERS rating systems are currently developed for Retail, Office, Home and Hotel existing buildings. Build Sustainable assessors work with owners, managers and tenants to carry out audits under these methodologies.


Build Sustianable carries out assessments for commercial and residential buildings for a fee which is based on the size and complexity of the project. We offer a comprehensive consultancy service to clients so that any thermal performance, Green Star, or NABERS compliance issues can be addressed early on in the design process to assure projects meet targeted goals.
