The Australian Building Codes Board (ABCB) is undertaking a project in relation to the Increased Use and Quantification of Performance. This forms part of the project attempting to create an enabling environment for the increased use and acceptance of Performance Solutions.
As a part of this project the ABCB are examining the use of Performance Solutions as a means of showing compliance with the NCC Performance Requirements in the area of disability access.
While the use of performance-based design provides the opportunity to deliver tailored, cost effective building solutions, there is generally heavy reliance on the use of the prescriptive Deemed-to-Satisfy (DtS) provisions.
The purpose of this survey is to gather information on the use of Performance Solutions relating to disability access and egress and inform options to further support their use.
