Abstract:

This thesis conducted a holistic investigation of the impacts of National Construction Code improvements on Australian commercial building performance from the energy, economic and environmental aspects. A customisation of the Best Code was established by comparing building energy codes in selected different countries. This study demonstrates significant financial and environmental benefits that Australia could achieve through more stringent building energy codes. The findings can inform the Australian government’s consideration of National Construction Code improvements in the current Regulat

The building sector accounts for approximately 40 percent of our energy use. To reach existing environmental targets energy use will have to be reduced in all building types. At the European level, the main legislative instrument for improving the energy efficiency of the building stock is the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). The EPBD requires all member states to implement the directive in the building code and it also requires energy declarations to be performed at the building level.
