Why Sustainability Matters in Commercial Developments
The ideal time to consider energy efficiency for your commercial development is at the design stage. At the design stage, we can adjust features of the building to incorporate cost-effective measures that increase energy efficiency. Trying to consider energy efficiency and sustainability at the end of the design stage, or worse, after it has been built, is costly and nowhere as effective.
With EcoForm as part of your design team, you will have access to the information you need to make these important decisions around energy efficiency, sustainability and bushfire risk.
Commercial buildings are a large consumer of electricity and producer of Greenhouse Gas Emissions. With electricity costs rising and the spotlight shining ever-brighter on sustainability, buildings which have considered sustainability and energy efficiency will be more attractive to tenants and buyers alike.
For example, Green Star rated (just one of the assessments we offer) buildings consume 66% less electricity and 51% less water than the average Australian building, which translates into financial savings. Green Star-rated office buildings deliver a 4.3% ‘green premium’ at the time of sale, a 13% higher return, a 25% longer Weighted Average Lease Expiry as well as a 56% lower vacancy rate (as per report Green Star in focus: The business case).
Engaging EcoForm to be part of your design team and examine sustainability and energy efficiency opportunities within your commercial development will not only assist with regulatory compliance but can add value now and throughout the development’s life.

Commercial Development Energy Assessments
EcoForm can provide you with the right advice and report for your commercial development. Whether it be a simple Section J Assessment or a more Complex JV3 Assessment, we can advise which report would suit your project, which will give the more flexible or cost-effective option and how we can incorporate the energy efficiency recommendation without compromising your design. We offer two options to comply with the Energy efficiency requirements of the NCC:
- Section J Assessments
- JV3 Assessments
Apartment & Unit
(Multi Residential) Assessments
Whether it is a small townhouse development, medium size apartment complex, or large multi-storey apartment complex, EcoForm has the expertise to assess your plans and give you the guidance you need to gain approval for your multi-residential project.
In some council areas, EcoForm will need to get involved with your project in the Development Application stage to ensure the sustainability reports required at the planning stage have been provided. Or it may be at the building licence stage we are needed.
Whichever it is, contacting EcoForm early so that we can help guide you with the reports you require will ensure delays are limited, energy efficiency and sustainability requirements can be integrated with the least impact on design and budget, and you have a clear understanding of where your project is heading.
Contact EcoForm to discuss your multi-residential project. We would be happy to be on your team.
