SJ-1.2 Energy Efficiency Training Resources

Energy Code Compliance Resources in Australia

The ABCB has a range of training modules (Resource Kits) that are designed to increase awareness of NCC provisions within the Australian building and construction sector. The Resource Kits are intended to provide current and consistent information on the NCC and have been designed to assist those who are in a training profession such as teachers or lecturers.

A major component of the Awareness Resource Kits is an extensive PowerPoint presentation including lecture notes and comprehensive information on Performance Requirements and Alternative Solutions. Also featured are FAQs, Group Exercises and Case Studies, which can all be work-shopped as a group. Non-government organisations and building associations have been and are highly active in conducting research and outreach activities to improve implementation of the building energy codes.

More recently these resource kits have been converted into on-line training modules aimed at building practitioners, linked to training provided by industry associations. In turn, these are complemented by non-mandatory handbooks. In time it is intended to supplement this material with more user-friendly digital resources, such as YouTube clips and illustrations.

The State and Territory building regulators also conduct their own education or support training providers.
