NCC 2022: J1V3

This 85-minute course is part of a comprehensive series designed to guide professionals through the intricacies of energy compliance using Speckel. Focused on the J1V3 verification method as outlined in the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022, this course explores the essentials of model setup, simulation, and reporting, providing participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure their building designs meet Australia’s energy efficiency standards.

Course Structure:

The course begins with an introduction to J1V3 and its application within the NCC. Participants will learn how to set up a basic model using Speckel, including configuring building codes, selecting climate zones, and understanding the implications of these choices on compliance.

Next, the course delves into the process of running simulations. Participants will explore how to simulate both the reference and proposed buildings, interpret the results, and understand key metrics such as greenhouse gas emissions and thermal comfort. The course emphasizes the importance of comparing these metrics to ensure compliance.

The final segment covers advanced analysis and reporting. This section highlights how to generate detailed reports that summarize the building's compliance with NCC standards, including a thorough review of thermal envelopes, solar loads, and HVAC performance. Participants will also learn how to customize these reports to meet specific project requirements.

Key Learning Outcomes:

• Understand and apply the J1V3 verification method for energy performance assessments.

• Gain proficiency in setting up and configuring building models within Speckel.

• Develop skills in running and interpreting energy simulations, focusing on key metrics like greenhouse gas emissions and thermal comfort.

• Explore advanced analysis techniques, including detailed thermal envelope and HVAC performance evaluations.

• Learn to produce comprehensive compliance reports suitable for submission to regulatory bodies.

Course Completion:

By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with a thorough understanding of the J1V3 compliance process, enabling them to confidently apply these methods to their projects. For those who complete the course and achieve an 80% pass mark on the final quiz, a Certificate of Completion will be awarded.
