TY - Conference paper AU - Timothy O'Leary AU - David Whaley AU - Martin Belusko PY - 2018 T1 - Investigating equivalence in compliance pathways to Australian housing energy efficiency PB - 52nd International Conference of the Architectural Science Association, 28 Nov - 1 December 2018, Melbourne, Victoria DO - https://doi.org/APO-229946 UR - https://apo.org.au/node/229946 AB - Current regulatory pathways to compliance in energy efficiency for Australian housing are via provisions in the National Construction Code (NCC). This paper first identifies performance evaluation criteria set out in the code presented as a comparative analysis across the different methods of achieving compliance. Jurisdictional and concessional variations are discussed and thereafter an examination of the effect of specific design and location factors that impact the commonly used deemed to satisfy route to compliance.
