Project Overview
The Innovation Centre at Hillcrest Christian College included a large architectural skylight.
The skylight exceeded the Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions of Section J, so the project required a performance-based assessment.
A J1V3 pathway demonstrated compliance while preserving the architectural intent without expensive envelope upgrades.

Project Challenges, and How We Tackled Them
Skylight outside the Deemed-to-Satisfy pathway
The centre's large skylight exceeded the Section J Deemed-to-Satisfy provisions.
Our response:
Green Choice Consulting assessed the design through the J1V3 performance pathway.
- Modelled the building against the J1V3 reference case
- Tested the skylight within the full-building performance outcome
- Preserved the intended skylight without expensive envelope upgrades
