Ryan De Kock will give a presentation on the changes to Clause H1 of the New Zealand Building Code regarding energy efficiency for structural masonry. The objectives are to provide confidence in specifying structural masonry walls under the new H1 requirements and to understand thermal mass basics. The changes aim to encourage 30% more energy efficient buildings through increased insulation standards and stronger recognition of thermal mass effects of structural masonry.
