Section J report assesses the materials already used in the construction and showcase whether any additional requirements are needed to gain the minimum standard as needed in section J1. Section J2 refers to glazing calculator that helps in showing the level of performance required for the glazing to meet the minimum standard. Section J3 indicates the addons required for the envelope perimeter.
