Duce Timber Windows & Doors - sustainable timber architecture
Sustainable timber architecture has increased rapidly in our changing global climate. By
2020 all new residential buildings will need to be carbon neutral and with one of the greatest causes of
heat gain for Queensland homes being windows, the obvious shift is towards timber. Timber windows and
doors are eminently sustainable V's aluminium - the great heat conductor.
So how can the process be made easier and architects and designers receive the support in which to achieve
buildings with a 10 star energy rating? The answer is the DUCE ARCHITECTS RESOURCE.
This Resource intends to provide everything needed to incorporate timber windows and doors into energy
efficient designs and be a clear guide assisting with U values, frame values and sealing systems to minimise
air leakage and achieve overall thermal efficiency UW-WERS generic values of below 4 (NFRC-100).
