BASIX - What is it?
If you are building a new home in NSW you need to submit a BASIX
Certificate with your Development Application.
Introduced by the NSW Government, BASIX, the Building Sustainability
Index, ensures homes are designed to use less potable water and
be responsible for fewer greenhouse gas emissions by setting energy
and water reduction targets for house and units. BASIX is one of
the most robust sustainable planning measures in Australia, delivering
equitable and effective water and greenhouse gas reductions across
NSW.
How does BASIX work?
BASIX is an online program that is free and accessible
to anyone. The user (usually the building designer) enters data
relating to the house or unit design - such as location, size,
building materials etc - into the BASIX tool. BASIX analyses this
data and determines how it scores against the Energy and Water
targets. The design must pass specific targets (which vary according
to location and building type) before the user can print the BASIX
Certificate.
The BASIX Certificate
This lists all the commitments the user has agreed to,
and the Certifying Authority will check these at various stages
of construction. The BASIX Certificate must be attached to the
development application before it can be processed. Click here
to see a sample BASIX Certificate for a single home (pdf 68kb).
Providing options
BASIX is free, flexible and easy to use, allowing users
to determine how they will meet targets from a wide range of options
such as rainwater tanks, water-saving fixtures, improved insulation,
passive solar orientation, natural lighting and native plants
for gardens. Visit the BASIX Website for more information...
