From BersPro to BASIX

Inputting data into the BASIX portal can be a challenge.

I built a spreadsheet to interpret the building element details summary quickly for entry into the planning portal.

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.
