During the design phase of Waitakere Hospital a design audit was undertaken to ensure that the new facilities were low-energy environments. Adjustments were made to the design so that the buildings made the most of natural ventilation, insulation and natural lighting levels were increased as well as the use of other energy efficient technologies.
NZ Standard NZS 4246:2006 - Energy Efficiency - Installing Insulation in Residential Buildings
This Standard is intended to provide clear and sound guidance to installers of insulation to ensure that the design thermal performance and thermal durability of the building element is achieved.
