The Northern Territory is investigating the possible adoption of a code that will keep the cold in and the heat out of its public buildings.
Key points:

Some new government buildings have been built to section J requirements
In the 10 years since the national construction code was written, the NT never adopted section J, which deals with energy efficiency.
