Can VURB for residential buildings ever be a good thing?

16/06/2021 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM AEST 

 

Event overview

VURB (Verification using a Reference Building Method) is a Performance Solution (Verification Method – V2.6.2.2) within the National Construction Code 2019. Introduced to provide flexibility against meeting the Performance Requirements of P 2.6.1 (except NSW), it has become synonymous as a ‘loophole’, allowing builders to avoid complying with the six-star NatHERS minimum requirement.
