Overview

In this session we showcase multi-residential projects from across Australia and representing architecture in a range of climate zones that have achieved high NatHERS ratings.

Learning Outcomes

On completion of this course participants should be able to:

  • Explain the NCC 2022 changes relating to NatHERS ratings of Class 1 and Class 2 buildings 
  • Evaluate margins of performance improvement achieved by modifying design and material choices  
  • List positive impacts of improved thermal comfort on physical and mental health 
  • Manage glazing orientation, size, type and shading in various climate zones   
  • Apply 7 Star+ design thinking in retrofit, renovation and new build contexts  
  • Identify the opportunities and benefits of working with energy and thermal performance assessors  
  • Understand ROI calculations relating to energy efficiency

NSCA 2021 Performance Criteria

This course will deliver outcomes related to the following Competencies from the 2021 National Standard of Competency for Architects:

PRACTICE MANAGEMENT AND PROFESSIONAL CONDUCT
PC 10 Demonstrate understanding of the whole life carbon implications of procurement methods, materials, components and construction systems. 
PC 12 Provide independent, culturally responsive and objective advice in accordance with relevant building codes, standards, technical specifications and guidelines, and planning regulations, including climate change implications, across all aspects of architectural practice.

PROJECT INITIATION AND CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
PC 26 Be able to undertake site, cultural and contextual analysis as part of preliminary design research. 
PC 28 Be able to draw on knowledge from building sciences and technology, environmental sciences and behavioural and social sciences as part of preliminary design research and when developing the conceptual design to optimise the performance of the project.
PC 31 Be able to identify, analyse and integrate information relevant to environmental sustainability – such as energy and water consumption, resources depletion, waste, embodied carbon and carbon emissions – over the lifecycle of a project.
PC 33 Be able to investigate, coordinate and integrate sustainable environmental systems – including water, thermal, lighting and acoustics – in response to consultants’ advice.
PC 35 Be able to assess operational and embodied carbon implications of materials, components, construction systems and supply chains (including transport) to achieve net zero whole life carbon when developing design concepts. This includes integrating relevant consultant expertise and advising on the impact of chosen materials, components and systems on carbon outcomes. 

DETAILED DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTATION
PC 39 Be able to integrate the material selection, structural and construction systems established in the conceptual design into the detailed design and documentation.
PC 45 Be able to nominate and integrate quality and performance standards with regard to selected materials, finishes, fittings, components and systems, considering the impact on Country and the environment, and the whole life carbon impact of the project. This includes integrating life cycle assessments and other expertise and advice from consultants.

DESIGN DELIVERY AND CONSTRUCTION PHASE SERVICES
PC 58 Complete documentation – including specifications, drawings, schedules, reports, certification and approvals – and other project information for issue to the client and relevant authorities, as required under the construction contract and relevant building and planning codes.

MICHAEL AMBROSE

CSIRO

Michael joined CSIRO in 1992 and is a senior experimental scientist in CSIRO’s Energy Business Unit.  He leads projects for industry and the Australian government, involving residential building energy efficiency.

Michael leads the analysis of house energy rating data obtained from the Universal Certificates (UC) that are created as part of the NatHERS energy efficiency compliance requirements for new houses contained within the National Construction Code.   Over 1 million UC’s are in the database and this is allowing unprecedented insight into how new house designs are achieving their energy efficiency requirements.  As part of this work Michael has created a series of interactive data visualisation dashboards (Home - Australian Housing Data (csiro.au) that allow users to explore the data geospatially to discover area specific trends and practices.

Michael is also undertaking monitoring and analysis of energy consumption in high rise apartment buildings to better understand how these buildings use energy and identify energy efficiency upgrade options and is establishing a database of zero emission homes from around Australia that will showcase the various approaches designers have used to create these low energy homes.

Michael is the author of numerous book chapters, papers and reports on building energy efficiency and urban sustainability.
