BASIX Assessment
A BASIX certificate assessment is required for the development application process in NSW and considers various criteria, such as:
Location of the building
Orientation size of the building
Construction type of the building
Window size and type of the building
Landscaping of the building
Appliances used within the building.
Additionally, it also considers thermal comfort levels which lessens the amount of energy used by dwellings in order to heat or cool the house to a comfortable level.
When would I require a BASIX Certificate?
The development application stage of every new residential dwelling built in NSW of $50,000 or more require a BASIX certificate. Residential dwellings include:
Single dwellings
Dual-occupancy dwellings
Townhouses
Villas
Low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise multi unit developments
Boarding houses
Additionally, it also considers thermal comfort levels which lessens the amount of energy used by dwellings in order to heat or cool the house to a comfortable level.
BASIX (The Building Sustainability Index) was introduced as part of the NSW Government’s 2004 initiative to ‘encourage sustainable residential development’ and is in effect part of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act. The BASIX certificate aims to accommodate NSW with more resilient dwellings together with reducing greenhouse gases and water consumption. BASIX was established to meet targets of up to 40% reductions in water consumption as well as greenhouse gas reductions by up to 25%. As a result, this delivers financial savings for the home owner.
When is it required to have more than one BASIX certificate?
Three instances may occur when it may be required to have more than one BASIX certificate. These are: the subdivision into single ‘Torrens title’ lots, development that involves strata title and for large multi-building residential flats.
Additionally, it also considers thermal comfort levels which lessens the amount of energy used by dwellings in order to heat or cool the house to a comfortable level.
