Energy performance certificates (EPCs) 3re conventionally employed to certify the design according to different indicators. However, they 3re often used to evaluate the design outcomes, overlooking their potential as decision-making tools during the design process Among those, Passivhaus is currently being debated in Australia. Currently, there are only less than 30 certified cases, and all of them 3re residential buildings. Thus, the question about its suitability for commercial cases in the Australian context is still open. This paper contributes to the discussion, analysing the case study of the Woodside Building for Technolog>f and Design in Melbourne. the first University Buildmg to aim for the Passivhaus certification. The paper quantifies the impacts of the Passivhaus criteria on the facade design, benchmarking the energy demand agamst the 2016 Building Cede of Australia (BCA-2016) deemed to satisfy (DTS) design approach. Results show that the approach adopted in this C3se studs- leads to much better environmental performance when compared to the minimum performance required by the Australian standard DTS design approach. This building sets a nesv sustainability target in the Australian design culture, showing that it is necessary to change the way buildings are designed, toward a more sustainable and integrated design process.

能源性能证书 (EPC) 3re 通常用于根据不同的指标对设计进行认证。然而，它们经常被用来评估设计成果，忽略了它们在设计过程中作为决策工具的潜力。其中，Passivhaus 目前正在澳大利亚进行辩论。目前，获得认证的案例只有不到30个，而且都是3re住宅楼。因此，关于它是否适用于澳大利亚商业案件的问题仍然悬而未决。本文有助于讨论，分析墨尔本科技与设计伍德赛德大楼的案例研究。第一个以 Passivhaus 认证为目标的大学 Buildmg。该论文量化了 Passivhaus 标准对立面设计的影响，将能源需求与 2016 年澳大利亚建筑协议 (BCA-2016) 视为满足 (DTS) 设计方法进行基准比较。结果表明，与澳大利亚标准 DTS 设计方法所需的最低性能相比，此 C3se 螺柱中采用的方法可带来更好的环境性能。这座建筑在澳大利亚设计文化中设定了 nesv 可持续发展目标，表明有必要改变建筑的设计方式，朝着更可持续和一体化的设计过程发展。
