Description

The BRANZ House Insulation Guide has been completely updated in this 6th edition. It can be used for compliance with Building Code Acceptable Solution H1/AS1 and Verification Method H1/VM1 5th edition, Amendment 1.

The Guide is now in two parts:

  • the tables of construction R-values (spreadsheets for PC, Mac and an online Office365 version for PC and Mac)
  • the accompanying guidance text (PDF)

The new H1/AS1 and H1/VM1 apply to all housing (including medium-density housing, apartment buildings and other multi-unit housing) and to buildings other than housing up to 300 m2. That is the scope of this Guide. While it can provide some useful information for larger buildings, it has not been designed for use with H1/AS2 or H1/VM2, the documents that apply to buildings greater than 300 m2.

While the House Insulation Guide can be used to help demonstrate compliance with H1, its intent and its purpose extend far beyond that, to helping architects and designers create buildings that are warm, dry and healthy and have performance beyond the Building Code minimums.
