7-Star - Honing in on Energy Efficiency Presentation

This session will be presented face-to-face at the WA Chapter office. Morning tea included.

Date: Tuesday 14 March 2023
Time: 10.30am for a 11.00am start, finishing 12.30pm AWST
Where: WA Chapter - 33 Broadway Nedlands WA

 

Overview

Join us on an excursion clarifying changes and showing practical experiences for achieving the new 7 Star rating. The presenters put the magnifier on the newly introduced energy efficiency clauses and will highlight design strategies to achieve energy efficiency for houses and multi-residential buildings. Through a case study you will learn how a previously assessed project will perform under the new requirements.

This is a great opportunity to get on the front foot with the new energy efficiency regulations and learn first-hand from the shared experiences of the presenters.

Delivery

This session will be presented face-to-face at the WA Chapter office. Morning tea included.

NSCA 2021 Performance Criteria

This presentation is equivalent to 1 hour/point of formal CPD and 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.
