Window and Door for 7-Stars - NSW and SA

When it comes to evaluating the performance of your Windows and Doors, there are several factors to be considered when deciding the best options for keeping your home thermally comfortable. Glazing has the greatest impact and which glass is best depends on your climate and whether more energy is used heating or cooling your house: ‘Climate zones’ are defined by the Australian Building Codes Board, referenced in the National Construction Code and they are used in energy rating a home.
Climate Zones in NSW and SA

Achieving Energy Efficiency in Mild Climates

Climate Zones in NSW and SA

Most regions of NSW and SA are considered warm temperate climates, requiring a balance between reducing heating loads in winter and cooling loads in summer. For these climate zones it is important that your windows and doors have both a low U value (for better insulation) and a low Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC), to prevent the heat from the sun entering your house.

ACHIEVING ENERGY EFFICIENCY IN COOL CLIMATES

Options for improving your Energy Efficiency through glass

To make your selection easier, we've created a good, better, and best glass offer for the VIC and ACT climate zones, with tiered performance levels. While performance will be a major consideration in deciding which glass to use, other factors such as cost, window colour, availability, and lead times may also play a role. Many other options are available to meet various needs; please contact your Trend representative for more information.
