JV3 Modelling

Benefit of using JV3

JV3 will enable the building owner, builder, architect or other practitioners to comply with the NCC requirement using a customised, cost-effective solution. For example, using single glazing and extra insulation on the roof rather than using high-performance glazing, such as double glazing; removing the floor insulation and adding extra insulation in walls rather than insulation floors.

This document is not intended to:

Background:

The NCC comprises the Building Code of Australia (BCA) Volumes One and Two; and the Plumbing Code of Australia (PCA), as Volume Three.

All new build buildings must meet the Performance Requirements, which can be achieved by using a Performance Solution, a DtS Solution, or a combination of both.
