JV3 Assessment

Performance-based energy modelling that unlocks design flexibility beyond Deemed-to-Satisfy.

JV3 Assessment illustration

JV3 (now J1V3) is the verification method that gives architects room to move. We build a 3D energy model of your proposed building and a compliant reference building, then demonstrate yours performs as well or better. It is the pathway that rescues ambitious facades from DTS limits.

When you need it

Used when a commercial design does not fit the Deemed-to-Satisfy path, or where glazing and facade freedom is needed. Modelled against a reference building.

What you receive

  • JV3 / J1V3 verification report
  • 3D energy model of proposed and reference buildings
  • Annual energy comparison and compliance statement

What we need to start

  • Full architectural set
  • Facade and glazing specification
  • Mechanical services design
