WOBO thanks the Australian Building Codes Board for the consultation notification.

The ABCB is seeking comment on a Consultation Regulation Impact Statement (CRIS) on the proposed amendments to the energy efficiency provisions in stage 2 of the NCC 2022 public comment draft (PCD).

The CRIS provides an analysis of the proposed increases in the stringency of the energy efficiency requirements for residential buildings and includes a full cost-benefit analysis.

To support stakeholders in providing informed comment on the CRIS, resources are available via the Related Documents section on the Consultation Overview page:

A number of specific questions are included in the CRIS to guide areas for feedback. In line with the ABCB’s process for undertaking public consultation, comment will only be accepted through the ABCB’s online Consultation Hub.
