Section J Reports

A Section J report or Section J compliance report is a building code compliance document that demonstrates how a Class 2–9 building (commercial, industrial, apartments/common areas, etc.) meets the energy efficiency requirements in Section J of NCC/BCA Volume One.

The most common way to meet the requirements is through a DtS pathway.

The Section J report addresses;

  • Building fabric / envelope (roof, walls, glazing, insulation, thermal breaks)
  • Air sealing / building sealing
  • HVAC and ventilation controls
  • Lighting power density and lighting controls
  • Hot water
  • Energy monitoring / EV charging / PV readiness

Section J was introduced in BCA 2005 and we have been helping builders and designers since.
