Webinar: Thermal Bridging in timber-framed walls

This webinar provides a basic introduction to life cycle assessment (LCA) and calculating the carbon footprint of a building. Life cycle assessment underpins all BRANZ carbon tools, so this webinar is a recommended introduction to our other carbon tools webinars.

This guide provides good practice advice to improve recovery rates for all types of metal from construction and demolition (C&D) sites.

The aim is to assist the resource recovery industry to provide collection and transportation services that:

• maximise the amount of metal diverted from landfill and cleanfill
• minimise contamination
• meet the requirements of the construction or demolition client and the recycling operator

The metal recycling industry in New Zealand is well established. This guide is not about how to process or recycle metal, but gives tips on providing a collection and transportation service that suits the demands of the building industry. This is relevant to both the recycling operators who provide a collection service and the transport operators who serve the recycling industry.

This guideline covers:

• what metal can be recycled from a C&D site
• collection and transportation services
• resources and contacts
• other guidelines in this series.

This BRANZ webinar, in partnership with the Window and Glass Association of New Zealand (WGANZ), brings together experts from BRANZ, WGANZ and MBIE to explain the compliance requirements in H1/AS1 5th edition amendment 1.

This publication helps designers, specifiers and builders ensure that new and existing houses are warm and effectively ventilated, providing owner comfort, convenience, health and safety while minimising running costs. It acknowledges the importance of good passive design - taking advantage of free sources of energy such as sun and wind to provide heating, cooling and ventilation.

This publication covers:

• heating and cooling design considerations and methods
• thermal design
• ventilation design considerations and methods.
