Course Overview

This course provides a practical overview of how Australian building compliance requirements are addressed within the IES Virtual Environment (IESVE). It is designed to help practitioners understand key compliance pathways, modelling approaches, and assessment considerations when working within the Australian regulatory framework.

You’ll explore National Construction Code (NCC) 2019 requirements and their implications for energy modelling, including the key differences between residential and commercial compliance. The course introduces the main assessment pathways: JV1, JV3, and JV4, explaining when each is applied and how they are supported within IESVE workflows.

The training also covers critical performance considerations such as human comfort, thermal bridging, façade glazing assessment, and the treatment of building services including pumps and fan energy. The focus throughout is on building clarity around Australian compliance processes and understanding how IESVE supports consistent, informed regulatory modelling and decision‑making.
