Title: Future of the Building Code for Glass
The Direction of Glass: How about Windows and Doors remain a key design element when considering a building’s comfort level. Glass comprises the largest surface area of a window and therefore it is the major contributor to its performance. It’s popularity as a building material is growing and our expectation is that code changes are likely to continue to ensure best practice.Recent H1 changes to the Building Code have improved thermal insulation, mostly by reducing U-values required from the glass component of a window. However, we are starting to see the unintended consequences of overheating in the warmer regions over summer.Overseas information and proven practices suggest G7 as an acceptable solution could be improved.Learning outcomes:What areas of investigation are currently underway How the latest coatings affect the thermal performance of the glass What other factors in an insulated glass unit (IGU) affect the thermal ratings and other performance valuesThe international trends and changes in glass that we can learn from in NZHow we can deal with and mitigate the new unintended consequences of code changes Eg overheating
