ABSA professionals help you save money and the environment.
The Association of Building Sustainability Assessors (ABSA) represents building and
design professionals who specialise in assessing the environmental impact of buildings.
ABSA Accredited Assessors use sophisticated computer programs to analyse your building
plans and can offer practical advice on cost-effective ways to improve its performance.
ABSA Assessors are specifically trained to ensure that your home meets the requirements
of Council environmental regulation. This professional advice can save you time and
money by eliminating any costly changes or delays caused by non-compliant plans.
Accredited Assessors offer specialised skills. They've completed rigorous training
and examination and are subject to regular auditing. They're backed by Professional
Indemnity Insurance and meet ABSA requirements for quality assurance and continuing
professional development.
ABSA Accreditation is the only nationally recognised standard for Assessor training
and Quality Assurance which meets the requirements of the Building Code of Australia
and the NSW Building Sustainability Index (BASIX). In some states it is mandatory
to use an Accredited Assessor to carry out Building Thermal Performance Assessments.
