| VOS Group Energy Modelling |
State of the art software tools are utilised to compliment the more traditional quantitative models for ecologically sustainable development and analysis. Encompassing both specific and general simulation tools, VOS Group’s comprehensive range allows the selection of the most appropriate tools for the task, ensuring greater accuracy and flexibility.
VOS Group understands the theoretical assumptions that underpin such proven computer software programmes and are thus able to independently evaluate the accuracy of the results.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Modelling techniques quantify complex airflow patterns and related temperature distribution within a defined space.
Thermal Modelling provides detailed information on the daily and seasonal performance of a building over a range of design scenarios.
Photometric Modelling assesses the performance of natural and artificial lighting systems.
Solar Modelling and Shading Analysis evaluates the performance of glazing, façade shading devices and the implications of shading from neighbouring buildings and obstructions. |
| Building Rating Schemes and Building Code of Australia Compliance |
VOS Group has the capability to provide advice on various building rating schemes having several accredited staff whilst compliant design advice can also be provided with respect to the BCA Section J. |
The importance of energy efficient buildings and associated services is increasing with governing bodies placing more emphasis on a development achieving a particular standard. VOS Group is accredited, and has the capability of advising upon and delivering design ratings, in the following |
* National Australian Built Environment Rating System (NABERS)
* Australian Building Greenhouse Rating (ABGR) scheme
* Green Star |
* NatHERS / AccuRate
* Building Sustainability Index (BASIX – NSW)
|
| Building Code of Australia (BCA) – Section J Review |
The recent implementation of Section J requires all aspects of building and services design to comply with the energy efficiency requirements. VOS Group’s in-depth understanding of Section J enables the provision of advice for BCA compliance. |
