Changes mean better energy efficiency

Windows are one of the main factors to significantly affect a building’s energy performance.

For both heating and cooling, glazing is fundamental to achieving an effective thermal envelope.

Windows can lose between 35% and 50% of heat, providing a far lower thermal performance than insulated roofs, walls, and floors. The inverse is true in warmer periods of the year when more heat is let into the home.

Recent changes to the New Zealand Building Code directly address this issue, including for windows and doors.

The H1 clause of the Code that regulates the energy efficiency of buildings has had its most substantial changes in over a decade, with the aim of creating warmer, drier, and healthier new buildings.

In turn this will reduce a building’s energy footprint.

The changes affect new buildings, and existing properties undergoing changes to the external thermal envelope requiring building consent.

As of May this year, in the south the minimum compliance requires thermally broken aluminium, uPVC, or timber framing, with doubleglazed Low E Insulated Glass Units to meet or exceed the standard.

With far better heat retention, Low E glazing provides far better insulation during winter, reducing the chance of condensation.
