Approved Building Sustainability Assessments
Whether your project is residential, commercial or industrial, we can provide recommendations to improve a building’s sustainability and ensure it meets legal requirements.
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.
Approved’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 design complies with the energy efficiency standards outlined in Section J of the National Construction Code (NCC).
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 (WoH) 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.
At present, compliance with Whole of Home is mandatory in Queensland, Australian Capital Territory and Victoria in line with the National Construction Code (NCC) 2022.

Approved not only offers the above building sustainability assessments but also knowledgeable consultancy advice. We offer expert guidance on sustainability strategies, compliance pathways, and innovative approaches to energy and water efficiency.
