Overview
Australia’s National Construction Code for Class 2 to 9 Buildings came into effect on 1 October 2024 and includes updated rules and regulations concerning Energy monitoring and on-site distributed energy resources.
This includes:
- Facilities for Energy Monitoring
- Facilities for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment
- Facilities for Solar PV & Battery Systems
What architects and builders need to be aware of when constructing buildings of this code is the ease-of-retrofitting this infrastructure later to meet growing demand. Being aware of these issues prior to building makes it easier for trained electricians to work on said-building which will save your client money in the future.
