Do You Have SANS 613 Certificates for your Building?
Do You Have SANS 613 Certificates?
THE NBR ACT REQUIRES SANS 613 CERTIFICATES FOR WINDOWS AND DOORS IN ALL NEW HOUSES AND RENOVATIONS.
KPJ CAN SUPPLY YOU WITH SANS 613 CERTIFICATES
Almost daily I get calls asking me for information and advice on the new energy efficiency laws and how they affect their building and renovations.(re: SANS 10400 XA and SANS 204)
The NBR Act includes the requirement that home builders must adhere to the National Building Regulations and National Standards Act 103 of 1997 as amended. A Competent Person must be appointed to ensure compliance.
The Standards mentioned here refer to SANS 10400 XA and. SANS 204
Fenestration forms a very important part of the regulations and the FIRST REQUIREMENT is that ALL builders of houses must get a SANS 613 certificate from his supplier which means the supplier of windows and doors has had products tested independently for airtightness, water resistance and structural strength and passed a minimum level of A1.
KPJ has SANS 613 certificates for its windows and doors and therefore can supply details to the Competent Person.
How to calculate your building plans against the Constant U value and SHGC
ASK KPJ for simulated U values and SHGC of wooden windows and doors (in most cases, these values are much better than the worst case values in SANS 204) You can use these simulated values to calculate your building plans against the Constant U values and SHGC in SANS 204.
