This ABCB Standard provides WOH efficiency factors for Class 1 dwellings, Class 2 sole-occupancy units and Class 4 parts of buildings in the energy efficiency provisions of the NCC; It applies in each NCC climate zone and jurisdiction.

Provides a set of technical provisions that if complied with will enable dwellings to better meet the needs of the community, including older people and people with mobility limitations

Provides a process for engineering the design of fire safety Performance Solutions. The document provides the flexibility required to develop Performance Solutions while still maintaining the level of safety required by the NCC.

Provides specific guidance to architects, planners, designers, engineers, builders, installers, maintenance personnel, building owners, managers and users in the planning and installation of physical pathways and spaces in and between buildings to accommodate the equipment and cabling infrastructure necessary for communications; to the extent that this is not adequately covered for Australian and New Zealand purposes in AS/NZSISO/IEC 14763.2:2014.

Provides a method whereby the frequency dependent values of airborne sound insulation of building elements and in building can be converted into a single number characterizing the acoustical performance; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-1:1996.

Recommends design criteria for conditions affecting the acoustic environment within building interiors to ensure a healthy, comfortable and productive environment for the occupants and the users.

Defines and provides methods for determining single number quantities for the impact sound insulation in buildings; this Standard is identical with and reproduced from ISO 717-2:1996.

Provides a method for the measurement of airborne sound reduction index to building partitions such as walls, floor/ceiling assemblies, doors, windows and other space dividing elements.

Contains Deemed-to-Satisfy Provisions that are considered to be acceptable forms of construction that meet the requirements for complying with Parts H1 to H8 of NCC Volume Two.
