Section J Report

Section J Report

What is a Section J or Part J Report?

A section J report or Part J report is a required document for all developments between class 3 – 9 buildings or the common areas within a Mixed Use Class 2 Building. Section J reports are a makeup of the provisions set out in the NCC (National Construction Code) 2019 Volume One where the minimum thermal performances of the wall, floor and ceiling systems are determined through a series of variables such as building climate zone and materials used. Additionally, a Façade Calculator is provided by the NCC (National Construction Code) which takes into account the wall type system, glazing to wall ratio for each orientation & another overhang or shading devices that are present in the project.

  • Part J1 – The building’s fabric performance
  • Part J2 – External glazing and shading
  • Part J3 – Sealing of the building
  • Part J5 – Heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning systems
  • Part J6 – Performance of artificial lighting
  • Part J7 – Heated water supply system for heating and pumping of swimming pools and spas
  • Part J8 – facilities used to monitor energy use.

Why a Section J Report is Needed?

The purpose of a section J report is to make sure we are keeping up with the building quality standards and slowly heading towards an overall reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. It also simultaneously reduces the heating, cooling, and electricity usage of the building which results in lower bills and cost to the environment.

Best Practice

How to get started With a Section J Report

To get started with your Section J Report, all we require to begin is the working drawings you have completed. Ideally, if you have any predetermined specifications, you’d like to use for your development a simple word document with those details should be also provided. These could include the following preferred products:

  • Wall & floor construction types
  • Insulation products or R Value Levels
  • Specific window company/glazing values
