Energy Efficient Insulation

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) sets out the requirements for the use of energy efficient thermal insulation based on the different climate zones around Australia.

The BCA sets minimum energy efficient insulation requirements for different building types and climate zones. Architects and specifiers and some government departments are going beyond the current standards as they strive for even greater energy efficiency in their building designs. The use of thermal insulation and acoustic insulation in the building design and construction forms a vital component in ensuring the energy rating is met. Typically 6 star energy ratings cannot be met without the liberal use of energy efficient insulation in the building’s design/construction.
