BASIX & ABSA reports from Building & Energy Consultants Australia

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 Energy Targets

• Hot Water System Solar gas boosted or Gas instantaneous with a high star rating.
