OVERVIEW:

This session provides a practical introduction to the key energy efficiency changes introduced in NCC 2025 Volume One Preview Draft for commercial buildings (Class 3 and Class 5–9). The session will work through changes to the Section J and J1V3 pathways, and how those changes are likely to impact building design. Attendees will gain an understanding of NCC 2025, the mechanics of compliance, and how to prepare Commercial building designs for NCC 2025 adoption.

Learning Outcomes

  • Identify the key changes to Section J requirements under NCC 2025
  • Apply NCC 2025 requirements to common design scenarios (façade, walls, roof, services)
  • Be aware of tools/calculators currently available to assist with evaluating compliance options.
  • Understand how compliance strategies may need to be adjusted for upcoming projects
