Capability Statement

BASIX Certificates

Certificates for Residential Developments in NSW

Our BASIX Consultants are highly experienced in tackling even the most challenging designs and large multi unit residential projects. We use NatHERS thermal modeling in preparation of every BASIX Certificate even for the smallest single dwelling projects.

NatHERS Assessment

NatHERS Thermal Comfort Assessment for Residential Developments

By using the latest version of HERO and BERS Pro second generation NatHERS thermal comfort assessment software packages, our assessors can model and simulate the thermal comfort performance of even the most complicated and challenging residential building designs. We have thousands of different dwellings in our resume and there is simply no design complexity which we have not seen yet.

National House Energy Rating Scheme or NatHERS is the national government regulatory framework that governs the thermal simulation of residential developments addressed in the National Construction Code. To perform a NatHERS thermal assessment an Accredited Assessor must simulate the building with a NatHERS thermal simulation software package. To learn more please visit our NatHERS page
