Sustainable Building Assessments for a Greener Future

At Ecocert, we’re passionate about empowering sustainable development across New South Wales, Queensland, and Victoria. We work alongside builders, developers, homeowners, government bodies, and industry experts, ensuring that every project—whether a small renovation or a major development—meets the highest standards of energy efficiency and sustainability. With deep industry experience, practical expertise, and a commitment to positive outcomes, Ecocert makes sustainable building both accessible and achievable.

NatHERS Assessments

Our NatHERS (Nationwide House Energy Rating Scheme) assessments are designed to measure the thermal efficiency of residential buildings, using advanced tools and software to predict a home’s energy usage for heating and cooling.

This service benefits homeowners, architects, and developers who want to ensure their project meets high energy standards, supports a comfortable living environment, and qualifies for regulatory approval.

Our assessors provide a clear energy rating and practical recommendations to enhance sustainability, helping you meet both regulatory requirements and environmental goals.

BASIX Assessments

The BASIX (Building Sustainability Index) assessment is a key requirement for residential projects in New South Wales. Our team evaluates your building design to ensure it meets water and energy usage targets, contributing to reduced environmental impacts and lower operating costs.

BASIX is essential for developers and homeowners seeking DA (Development Application) approval, as it verifies that their project will deliver long-term energy and water savings.

Ecocert’s BASIX assessments provide a seamless path to compliance, backed by actionable advice on improving your design’s sustainability footprint.

Section J Reports

For commercial and industrial projects, our Section J Reports assess whether a building’s energy efficiency aligns with the National Construction Code (NCC).

This report covers elements like building fabric, glazing, insulation, lighting, and HVAC systems to ensure that commercial buildings meet stringent energy performance criteria.

Ideal for developers and construction managers involved in non-residential projects, Section J Reports help you achieve regulatory compliance while optimising energy performance, supporting sustainable outcomes across large-scale developments.

Whole of Home Assessments

In Australia, our Whole of Home assessments take a comprehensive look at a building’s energy efficiency, water usage, and environmental impacts.

This service is especially relevant for property developers, architects, and builders who wish to create homes that align with modern sustainability benchmarks.

Whole of Home offers a holistic view of sustainable design, providing valuable insights into how each element contributes to overall building performance, and helping you build homes that are comfortable, efficient, and compliant with Australia’s sustainability standards.

Ecocert’s building sustainability and consulting services are designed to support projects at every stage, from initial planning to project completion. We offer expert guidance on sustainability strategies, compliance pathways, and innovative approaches to energy and water efficiency. Whether you’re a developer managing multiple projects, an architect designing sustainable structures, or a builder navigating approval processes, our consulting services provide invaluable support. By helping you interpret and apply complex sustainability standards, Ecocert’s consultants ensure that your project aligns with best practices, adds long-term value, and contributes positively to the environment.
