The performance requirements of NCC Section J report do not have a direct impact on the building design; however, to maintain a low-cost construction or to avoid using alternative compliance solutions, NCC may require you to:

  • Avoid installing dark roof cladding.
  • Have tinted glazing instead of clear ones across the eastern or western façade.
  • Reduce the area of glazing over the eastern or western façade.
  • Increase the area of glazing over the north-facing walls.
  • Install shading over the east or west-facing windows.
