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.

Outlines the peer review process which can be used as a compliance option for assessing the energy equivalence (thermal performance) of new houses and major renovations (where practical) in Queensland.

The AS 3600 Concrete code; AS 3600 2009 specifies minimum requirements for the design and construction of concrete building structures and members that contain reinforcing steel or tendons, or both; sets out requirements for plain concrete and pedestal footings.

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.

This Standard adopts ISO/IEC 14763-2:2019 with modifications for Australia and New Zealand, which specify requirements for the planning, installation and operation of telecommunications cabling and cabling infrastructures including cabling, pathways, spaces and telecommunications bonds (other than that specified in AS 30129) in support of generic cabling standards and associated documents.

Assists in understanding the energy efficiency provisions in NCC Volume Two that apply to houses.

The purpose of this guide is to provide an overview of how the BASIX engine works to estimate energy and water consumption in houses and apartments, and how these outputs can be used to inform design decisions.
