BASIX
Last modified: July 3, 2008 - 12:21 AM
Introduced by the NSW Government, BASIX ensures homes are built to be more energy and water efficient.
BASIX is on-line program that assesses a house or unit design, and compares it against energy and water reduction targets. The design must meet these targets before a BASIX Certificate can be printed.
Every development application for a new home must be submitted to Council with a BASIX Certificate.
BASIX uses information such as site location, house size, type of building materials and fittings for hot water, cooling
and heating.
It is important to realise that the commitments made during the BASIX process are shown on the final certificate and must be marked on the plans, and adhered to during the building process.
Any changes made to the house design means another BASIX assessment must be completed and a new BASIX Certificate submitted to Council.
