Overview

The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) is currently developing a Future Building Code that will replace the 1996 Building Code of Australia. The purpose of this project is to provide the ABCB with information that will allow it to determine whether sustainability requirements are necessary in the Future Building Code and how they may be incorporated. The project will study sustainability requirements and developments in Australia and overseas. It will also identify issues and implications associated with sustainability requirements for buildings and advise how these could be regulated.
