Training Delivery

DeltaQ members have extensive experience delivering training, including development of training materials. We can develop customised training materials for all energy management and sustainability related issues for your organisation, including but not limited to:

  • Section J 2019 requirements and applications
  • NABERS, CBD programs and its implications on your organisation

Research, Policy & Program Development

The founders of DeltaQ have a long track record of bringing our world-leading energy efficiency knowledge and insight to bear on research, policy and program development projects. 

Some key projects are shown below. 

NABERS development

We were the original authors of the Australian Building Greenhouse Rating Scheme in 1999 and subsequently have led the development of all the NABERS Energy and Water rating systems, covering apartments, offices, shopping centres, hotels and data centres.

NCC Section J 2019

DeltaQ team members led this project to re-write the 2019 National Construction Code Section J. The re-writing of Section J involved in excess of 1200 building simulation models to test and verify improvements in building fabric and equipment including glazing, insulation, roof and wall materials, fans, pumps and many more building elements.

This work was also used in the technical analyses behind the Built to Perform report released by the Australian Sustainable Built Environment Council (ASBEC). 

Emissions Reduction Fund

We were heavily involved in the development and review of emissions reduction calculation methodologies in support of this foundation policy in the current government’s climate change response.

EEC Certification Scheme

We provided significant input into the development of the scheme administered by the Energy Efficiency Council (EEC) by authoring the accreditation requirements and evidence guide. We maintain our involvement in the scheme through participation on the Steering Committee and being one of the lead assessors.
