BASIX
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the microfinance institution, see BASIX (India).
BASIX or Building Sustainability Index is a scheme introduced by the government of New South Wales, Australia to regulate the energy efficiency of new buildings.
It has been criticized on some sides for slowness of implementation, and for being weaker than originally promised,[citation needed] while developers have complained about the costs. High-rise apartment blocks are exempt from the energy efficiency targets.[1]
