Abstract
This study is designed to articulate, concisely and quantitatively, the impact of building energy performance legislation in Victoria for Class 1 buildings with respect to:
- the likely annual energy consumption
- the likely annual emissions of greenhouse gases
- the construction techniques and building materials
- the application of solar passive design
The study was also required to identify any factors, other than building energy performance legislation, that may have contributed to any change in energy and greenhouse performance of new Class 1 buildings in Victoria from 1990 to 2000.
The overall objective of this study is to examine the effectiveness of the legislation on the reduction of energy used to maintain building user comfort, and therefore its effect on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
