Autex H1 Calculations: Expert Assistance with Insulation Specification

A well-insulated building is energy-efficient, healthy and comfortable year-round — a sustainable investment for the future. While insulating may seem like a simple process, the world of insulation is not one size fits all. Available products vary in quality, material, application, acoustic performance, and R-Value, making it difficult to determine which product is best for the project.

Ensuring a building project meets the requirements set out in Clause H1 of The Building Code can be a costly and time-consuming process. It is essential to use the right type and quantity of insulation to meet the NZ requirements. Depending on the type, size, design, and location of the building, some products are more effective than others.

With years of experience helping Kiwi architects meet H1 standards, Autex can work alongside architects and specifiers to ensure they specify the right insulation for their project.

Autex H1 calculations are easy and free of charge, taking the weight off the shoulders of busy specifiers.
