The Shape of things

How does this BASIX thing work?

The holy trinity of energy efficiency for NSW, the BASIX is the sum of three parts - Water, Thermal Comfort & Energy.

While they work together as a whole, for the most part you cannot add to one to subtract from the other. ie- you cannot add PV (solar power) to the ENERGY component to reduce the glazing in the THERMAL COMFORT component.
