BASIX/ABSA Reports

 

'Our three ABSA accredited assessors ensure fast and reliable turnover'

 
BASIX is an on line program that assesses a house or unit design, and compares it against water, thermal comfort and energy targets. The design must meet these targets before a BASIX certificate can be issued.
 
Every development application for a new home must be submitted to Council with a BASIX certificate. The BASIX target varies according to building type and location.
 
Ways to meet Thermal Comfort targets:
  • The best way to meet thermal comfort target is to engage an accredited assessor. Your assessor will simulate your dwellings thermal performance and provide you with an ABSA certificate.
  • Our accredited ABSA assessors produce house energy rating reports using Nathers or second generation software Accurate and BERS ensuring that they are affordable and buildable.
 
Ways to meet water targets:
  • Select water efficient fixtures, the more stars a water has the greater the efficiency. All ratedproducts are available to view at the Water Efficiency Web site www.waterrating.gov.au
