1.4 Limitations of the Report

This report does not assess the following: o OH & S requirements o Determining the full compliance with the BCA, other than the matters identified o Accessibility requirements under the Disability Discrimination Act.1992 o Disability (Access to Premises - Buildings) Standards 2010 o The requirements of other service providers ( Telephone, Electricity or Gas ) etc. o Basix and Section J requirements of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000 and the BCA respectively. Note: These requirements are to be assessed by an Association of Building Sustainability Assessor(ABSA) with all the recommended works to be detailed on Construction Certificate plans. 1.5 Executive Summary Initial assessment of documentation provided has revealed that the proposed development generally complies with and/or is capable of complying with the requirements of the Building Code of Australia Volume One 2016 known as the National Construction Code. A number of minor items were identified that may be required to be rectified to satisfy the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of the Building Code of Australia or be considered in the form of an Alternative Solution if prepared to satisfy the Performance Provisions of the Building Code of Australia subject to approval and acceptance by the Certifier. Details of these and other provisions of the Building Code of Australia and appropriate Australian Standards are identified in the following sections. Where compliance with the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of the BCA cannot be achieved further assessment under the Performance Provisions will be required subject to consultation with the Certifying Authority, Fire & Rescue NSW and a Fire Engineer as applicable. Following the review and assessment of the architectural plans and documentation provided it has been resolved that the proposed development is capable of complying with the Deemed-to-Satisfy and/or Performance Provisions of the Building Code of Australia.

2.0 SUMMARY OF REVIEW

The Deemed-to-Satisfy requirements of the BCA have been considered in the assessment as requested. An Energy Efficiency report will be required to determine compliance with J1 to J8 inclusive as applicable Section 4 ( BCA Assessment ) below identifies the BCA provisions required to be satisfied to achieve compliance with the BCA. These items will be applicable at Construction Certificate stage. Should additional information be required the plans are to be amended as applicable and provided when the Construction Certificate is lodged to ensure compliance is achieved with the BCA in relation to the proposed development Where a technical non-compliance with the prescriptive requirements has been identified and full compliance cannot be achieved, an alternative solution prepared by an appropriately qualified person to demonstrate compliance with the performance requirements of the Building Code of Australia may be appropriate.

BCA Assessment –139-145 Parramatta Road, Homebush.

Building Code Assistance – Peter Dix Page 49 of 51 C:\Users\user\Dropbox\Building Code Assistance Reports - 2016\139-145 Parramatta Road, Homebush - Sect. 96 - BCA Report 2016 .doc

5.0 CONCLUSION

This report highlights the items that need to be implemented to fully comply with the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of BCA 2016 –Volume One as applicable. Compliance with BCA 2016, as adopted on 1st May 2016 will also generally be satisfied , however minor adjustments may be required to satisfy the Disability (Access to Premises-Buildings ) Standards 2010 , AS 1428.1-2009 and AS2890.6 This will ensure that the provisions of Fire Safety and/or Fire Safety awareness is adequate to prevent the spread of fire or ensure or promote the safety of persons in the event of fire and to ensure that the maintenance or use of the premises does not constitute a significant fire hazard. Where a technical non-compliance with the prescriptive requirements has been identified and full compliance cannot be achieved, an Alternative Solution prepared by an appropriately qualified person to demonstrate compliance with the performance requirements may be appropriate. I confirm that following the review and assessment of the architectural plans and documentation provided it has been resolved that the proposed development is capable of complying with the Deemed-to-Satisfy and/or Performance Provisions of the Building Code of Australia and associated Australian Standards.

(c) not control more than— (i) an area of 100 m2 with a single push button timer; and (ii) 95% of the lights in spaces of area more than 25 m2; and

(d) be capable of maintaining the artificial lighting— (i) for not less than 5Â minutes and not more than 15 minutes unless it is reset; and (ii) without interruption if the timer is reset.

3. Time switch

(a) A time switch must be capable of switching on and off electric power at variable pre-programmed

times and on variable pre-programmed days.

(b) A time switch for internal lighting must be capable of being overridden by— (i) a means of turning the lights on, either by—

(A) a manual switch or an occupant sensing device that on sensing a person's presence, overrides the time switch for a period of up to 2 hours, after which there is no further presence detected, the time switch must resume control; or

(B) an occupant sensing device that overrides the time switch upon a person's entry and returns control to the time switch upon the person's exiting, such as a security card reader; and

(ii) a manual "off" switch.

(c) A time switch for external lighting must be capable of— (i) limiting the period the system is switched on to between 30 minutes before sunset and

30 minutes after sunrise is determined or detected including any pre-programmed period between these times; and

(ii) being overridden by a manual switch or a security access system for a period of up to 30 minutes, after which the time switch must resume control.

(d) A time switch for boiling water and chilled water storage units must be capable of being

overridden by a manual switch or a security access system that senses a person's presence,

overrides for a period of up to 2 hours, after which if there is no further presence detected, the time

switch must resume control.

4. Motion detectors

(a) In a Class 2, 3 or 9c aged care building other than within a sole-occupancy unit, a motion detector

must— (i) be capable of sensing movement such as by infra-red, ultrasonic or microwave detection or

by a combination of these means; and (ii) be capable of detecting a person before they are 1Â m into the space; and (iii) other than within a sole-occupancy unit of a Class 3 building, not control more than—

(A) an area of 100 m2; and (B) 95% of the lights in spaces of area more than 25 m2; and

(iv) be capable of maintaining the artificial lighting when activated— (A) for not less than 5 minutes and not more than 15 minutes unless it is reset; and

(B) without interruption if the motion detector is reset by movement.

(b) In a Class 5, 6, 7, 8, 9a or 9b building, a motion detector must— (i) be capable of sensing movement such as by infra-red, ultrasonic or microwave detection or

by a combination of these means; and (ii) be capable of detecting—

(A) a person before they have entered 1 m into the space; and (B) movement of 500 mm within the useable part of the space; and

(iii) not control more than— (A) in other than a carpark, an area of 500 m2 with a single sensor or group of parallel sensors;

and (B) 75% of the lights in spaces using high intensity discharge; and

(iv) be capable of maintaining the artificial lighting when activated— (A) for a maximum of 30 minutes unless it is reset; and (B) without interruption if the motion detector is reset by movement; and

(v) not be overridden by a manual switch to permanently leave the lights on.

(c) When outside a building, a motion detector must— (i) be capable of sensing movement such as by infra-red, ultrasonic or microwave detection or

by a combination of these means; and (ii) be capable of detecting a person within a distance from the light equal to—

(A) twice the mounting height; or (B) 80% of the ground area covered by the light's beam; and

(iii) not control more than five lights; and (iv) be operated in series with a photoelectric cell or astronomical time switch so that the light

will not operate in daylight hours; and (v) be capable of maintaining the artificial lighting when the switch is on for a maximum of 10

minutes unless it is reset; and (vi) have a manual override switch which is reset after a maximum period of 4 hours.

5. Daylight sensor and dynamic lighting control device

(a) A daylight sensor and dynamic control device for artificial lighting must— (i) for switching on and off—

(A) be capable of having the switching level set point adjusted between 50 and 1000 Lux; and (B) have—

(aa) a delay of more than 2 minutes; and (bb) a differential of more than 100 Lux for a sensor controlling high pressure discharge lighting,

and 50 Lux for a sensor controlling other than high pressure discharge lighting; and (ii) for dimmed or stepped switching, be capable of reducing the power consumed by the

controlled lighting in proportion to the incident daylight on the working plane either— (A) continuously down to a power consumption that is less than 50% of full power; or (B) in no less than 4 steps down to a power consumption that is less than 50% of full power.

(b) Where a daylight sensor and dynamic control device has a manual override switch, the manual

override switch must not be able to switch the lights permanently on or bypass the lighting controls.
