Changes to H1 (Energy efficiency provisions) and benefits of Insulating Thermal Mass
Description:
This course covers clause H1 (Energy efficiency provisions) in the New Zealand Building Code. The focus is on the Acceptable Solution H1/AS1 for Solid construction, looking at the best ways to insulate masonry homes utilising the thermal mass properties of concrete construction.Learning Objective:
- To get a better understanding of the Clause H1 - Energy Efficiency
- To get a better understanding of the requirements of H1
- To use Acceptable Solution H1/AS1 to achieve the requirements of H1 for Solid Construction
- To understand how thermal mass works and the benefits of it (Thermal Mass vs. Insulation)
- To understand the thermal properties of Graphex and how it works
- To understand the Eco-efficiency of Graphex as an insulating product
- To understand the Graphex Overlay system and how it works
- How to detail Graphex as an overlay onto a concrete construction
