Check Sheets for Residential - Class 1 & 10 Buildings

Since 2003, the Building Code of Australia (BCA) has incorporated energy efficiency provisions for the design and construction of all Class 1 single residential houses.

Western Australia also has additional requirements incorporated into the BCA to improve the energy and water efficiency of new homes right across the state. These requirements are called 5 Star Plus.

Building Industry Development has developed a series of check sheets that can be used to verify compliance with the Acceptable Construction Practices detailed in the BCA. They have been produced in an effort to:

• promote a consistent approach to the assessment of building licence applications when applying the energy efficiency requirements of the BCA; and
• provide a simple solution for builders and designers when submitting information to verify compliance with the BCA.

The use of these check sheets is on a voluntary basis. They relate to the BCA Deemed-to-Satisfy compliance only. As these check sheet are not regulated, they are not mandatory.
