  3. the building complies with the additional requirements in Specification 33.

(2) For a Class 2 building, other than sole-occupancy units, compliance with J1P1 is verified when—

  2. air-conditioning, which operates not less than 18 hours per day, is provided to all enclosed common lift lobbies and corridors; and

  3. the energy model required for (a) demonstrates—

    1. the greenhouse gas emissions of the services are less than 90% of the 5-star level; and

    2. a thermal comfort level of between a Predicted Mean Vote of -1 to +1 is achieved across not less than 95% of the floor area of the air-conditioned common area occupied zones, excluding indoor swimming pool chambers, for not less than 98% of the annual hours of operation of the building; and

    3. the space temperature in any indoor swimming pool chamber is maintained at 2°C above the pool temperature during occupied hours of not less than 12 hours per day; and

  4. the building complies with the additional requirements in Specification 33.

(3) For a Class 3 building, compliance with J1P1 is verified when—

  1. a minimum 4-star NABERS Energy for Hotels Commitment Agreement is obtained; and

    2. a thermal comfort level of between a Predicted Mean Vote of -1 to +1 is achieved across not less than 95% of the floor area of occupied zones, excluding indoor swimming pool chambers, for not less than 98% of the annual hours of operation of the building; and

    3. the space temperature in any indoor swimming pool chamber is maintained at 2°C above the pool temperature during occupied hours of not less than 12 hours per day; and

  4. the building complies with the additional requirements in Specification 33.

(4)For a Class 6 shopping centre, compliance with J1P1 is verified when—

  1. a minimum 4.5-stars NABERS Energy for Shopping Centres Commitment Agreement is obtained; and

  2. the building has:

    1. an air-conditioned common area of not less than 20% of the gross lettable area; and

    2. a gross lettable area greater than 15 000 m2; and

  3. the energy model required for (a) demonstrates—

    1. the greenhouse gas emissions of the services covered within the scope of NABERS Energy for Shopping Centres ratings are less than 80% of the 4.5-star level; and

    2. a thermal comfort level of between a Predicted Mean Vote of -1 to +1 is achieved across not less than 95% of the floor area of air-conditioned spaces within the scope of the rating for not less than 98% of the annual hours of operation the building; and

  4. the building complies with the additional requirements in Specification 33.

(5)The calculation method for (1), (2), (3) and (4) must comply with ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 140.
