Building envelope compliance guidance
In 2015 the Building Code of Australia (BCA) introduced Verification Methods FV1 (Vol. 1) and V2.2.1 (Vol. 2) to evaluate the weatherproofing performance of direct-fix cladding, cavity and unique wall systems. The methods provide a means to verify compliance with the relevant NCC BCA Performance Requirements of FP1.4 and P2.2.2 for water penetration in an external wall.
