Building Standards - Design Assessment Scoresheet

The home designs of Lot Owners are assessed against the Building Standards using the Design Assessment Scoresheet .

The Scoresheet measures the resources that a NEV dwelling uses, and considers the house energy emissions and water consumption in a similar manner to the 2004 BASIX benchmark, but seeks an initial reduction of estimated consumption that is less than 70% of the BASIX 2004 benchmark for both. Goals for each category in the Scoresheet are provided in  Table 1 of the NEV Building Standards. 

Scoresheets may be filled out by either the lot owners, the lot owner’s design consultants or by a Nev Registered Assessor. The Lot Owner is responsible for any cost incurred in completing the NEV Scoresheet.
