Building with Principals of Energy Efficient Design 5

Introduced by the NSW Government, BASIX ensures homes are built to be more energy and water-efficient.BASIX is an online program that assesses a house or unit design and compares it against energy and water reduction targets. The design must meet these targets before a BASIX Certificate can be printed.

Every development application for a single-unit dwelling, dual occupancy, alterations and additions and multi-dwelling developments must be submitted to Council with a BASIX Certificate.

When an applicant voluntarily lodges a BASIX Certificate for a project, BASIX will prevail over Council provisions relating to greenhouse and water reductions and thermal comfort. BASIX uses information such as site location, house size, type of building materials and fittings for hot water, cooling and heating.

It is important to realise that the commitments made during the BASIX process are shown on the final certificate and must be marked on the plans, and adhered to during the building process.

Any changes made to the design means another BASIX assessment must be completed and a new BASIX Certificate submitted to Council. Photo by author.
