Must a building match NCC Reference model for 6 star rating?
No, but following the NCC Reference Building's list of design criteria is a shortcut to assure a cost-effective energy compliance.

Double-glazed windows, optimum shading over north and a good building orientation helps you get a 6 star energy rating in Tasmania.
A 6 star energy rating involves using a modelling tool to model the house in 2D to calculate the area-adjusted heating & cooling demand.
Houses are given a star rating from 0-10 and under NCC 2019, a 6 Star energy rating is a minimum to achieve compliance with the code.
You need to undertake a Performance Solution instead of following the DTS or 6 star energy rating report requirements.
