Description
This Standard provides clear and concise requirements for determination and reporting of total R-values and system R-values to promote greater consistency of these calculations within the Australian and New Zealand marketplaces.
Scope
This standard cover:
- a) Standard assumptions for the calculation of system and total thermal resistance of insulation products used in thermal calculations;
- b) A prescriptive calculation methodology for determining the thermal resistance of airspaces with parallel bounding surfaces of varying emissivity;
- c) A range of conversion coefficients for multiple insulation types; and
- d) Prescriptive reporting requirements for demonstrating total R-value and system R-value calculations.
