Architects don’t often have time to analyse building performance at concept or Development Application (DA) level.
Collaborative Energy Efficient Building Fabrics call for early involvement to optimise glazing ratios, shading and building material details.
Traditional consulting rolls lead to excessive costs and lack of transparency in the energy efficiency collaborative process.
We utilise this great online software for optimising building fabric and compliance in a streamlined, collaborative manner.
We take a pro-active approach to leverage this great design tool by offering iterations and options to find the sweet spot for performance.
Energy efficiency leads to cost savings for operating the building as well as the capital costs to build it.
Establish performance and energy targets with the client and project via consult and engagement.
Opportunity analysis and review of architectural documentation to ensure wall, roof, glazing details are understood clearly.
Model of the building using Speckel (now rebranded Better Buildings) to gather baseline performance.
Upon completion of model review performance data to gather thermal comfort and energy efficiency provisions per the building.
Leverage of the cloud based energy modelling software to iterate and option improvements on performance while also reviewing cost effectiveness for construction.
Energy Report summary inclusive of results and certification of compliance to suit Building Certifier requirements.
Construction support to gather if any changes to thermal or building make-up to re-confirm performance outcomes and aims.

We provide comprehensive energy assessments, NCC Section J compliance consulting, JV3 modelling, building fabric optimisation, and tailored strategies to improve overall building performance.
Ensuring compliance helps meet regulatory standards, reduces energy consumption, lowers operating costs, and enhances sustainability and occupant comfort.
JV3 (NCC Alternative Performance) modelling is a performance-based energy simulation tool that predicts your building’s energy consumption, allowing for optimized design and compliance with Section J requirements.
Yes, we offer building fabric assessments and retrofit planning to improve insulation, glazing, and overall building performance, making existing structures more energy-efficient.
We work with a range of building types including residential, commercial, industrial, public infrastructure, and mixed-use developments.
Our expertise helps integrate energy-efficient design from the early planning stages, reduces compliance risks, and ensures your project meets current and future sustainability standards.
We analyse insulation, glazing, sealing, and thermal performance, then recommend cost-effective upgrades that maximise energy savings and comfort.
We evaluate opportunities for solar PV, hot water, and other renewable systems to enhance a building’s energy performance and sustainability credentials.
Our team has extensive experience navigating NCC regulations, including recent updates to Section J, ensuring your project meets all legal requirements.
We offer our consulting services to clients in Australia and United States. We are based in Perth, Western Australia. As our software is cloud based, we can service and offer consultancy for any project in the world. Just being modest. Our focus in Australia at present.
