Level: Passive design (2nd edition)
A critical aspect of a house's energy use and sustainability is the overall design of a building - its orientation on site, careful sizing and location of windows, specification of above-minimum insulation and making the best use of sun and wind for heating, cooling and ventilation.
This guide explains the technical background to good passive design, the choices and compromises that need to be made and Building Code and standards requirements that must be met.
The thermal performance requirements of building elements given in this book are from the 4th edition Building Code acceptable solution H1/AS1 and verification method H1/VM1. Note that 5th editions of H1/AS1 and H1/VM1 replaced the 4th edition from 3 November 2022.
Seminar: Building for our changing climate
In this seminar series we’re diving deep into design and construction options that will enable residential buildings to perform better in the face of long-period intense rainfall, surface flooding, high winds, increasing temperatures, and more.
Seminar: BRANZ Answers - Bracing
This seminar takes a back-to-basics approach to bracing taking you through the steps that need to be addressed using examples to calculate the bracing required for framed walls.
Please note that access to this recorded seminar will expire 1 month after purchase.
Module: Introducing bracing
Forces from wind and earthquakes place demands on a building. These demands are calculated for a particular building so that the building can be designed with enough bracing capacity to resist the demand and perform structurally.
Topics covered in this self-paced module:
- Wind bracing
- Earthquake bracing
- Library
