Energy efficiency standards for developing sustainable commercial buildings are becoming stricter. The penalties don’t just include financial loss but delays in your projects and tarnished brand value. Therefore the alternative solutions have gradually become more necessary. With toughened up regulations adhering to specific compliance standards became challenging. The good news is you can achieve compliance without using exorbitantly expensive or difficult to achieve solutions with JV3 modelling. JV3 assessment and modelling is an alternative approach to achieving the best compliance standards. Prepare your Section J Report, NABERS documentation and BASIX report from a reputed and experienced building consultancy agency. Difference Between DtS And JV3 ModellingNormally, a new commercial project can use the Deemed to Satisfy (DTS) method to achieve energy compliance. In this technique, a formal compliance assessment of every building component (building fabric, window, glazing components, heat and cooling systems) is done independently. However, there is no room for interchanging or trading between the building components with this traditional method. Therefore with certain intricate designs, the construction costs can be skyrocketing with the DtS method. JV3 assessment method considers the energy compliance of the entire building rather than independent design elements, allowing reasonable trade-offs. In this assessment method, your proposed commercial building’s estimated annual energy expenditure is compared with a total annual energy expenditure of a DtS complaint reference building in the same geographical area/location. Your project is deemed compliant if your proposed building’s annual energy expenditure is less than the DtS reference building. When Can You Use JV3 Compliance Method?JV3 modelling can be extremely beneficial and save construction costs in the following scenario:
JV3 modelling doesn’t just make your building compliant and reduce construction costs. It also helps you to build quality sustainable buildings having higher market value.
