Where to Find the Best Watt
SARIERA Accredited Manufacturer of Energy Efficient Windows
Where to Find the Best Watt
I attended the regional meeting of SAGGA . It was very well attended by manufacturers. The subject under discussion was the New Building Regulations. We were informed that the NRCS (National Registrar Compulsory Specifications) has directed Municipalities to enforce the regulations. Municipalities have appointed Building Control Officers to carry out this function. It means that requirements will be inspected at the plans approval stage by a Competent Person appointed by the owner. Drawings will need to have energy efficiency details listed and contractors will need certificates from product manufacturers ready for inspection.
FENESTRATION
In regard to fenestration, manufacturers are required to comply with SANS 613 and supply the necessary certificate of compliance. In addition, it is the manufacturers' responsibility to be able to give architects assurance that they can supply windows and doors to their energy efficient specifications.
SANS 613
KPJ has a certificate of compliance with SANS 613 for windows. KPJ's windows have an A3 rating which shows our products are stronger and better because they have undergone more stringent testing than products with a minimum required rating of A1. Products must be rated to meet the Building Regulations standard.
HOTBOX
KPJ windows have undergone 5 day testing in the HotBox so we can give you an up-to-date U Values and SHGC. The results have given us a certified overall picture of KPJ wooden windows. (Heat Transmission - U value, SHGC, + A3 rating of SANS 613)
SAVE 40% Watts with KPJ Windows
Now let me turn to the important Watt. According to the Performance values for frame+glass published in SANS204 we have a distinct advantage when it comes to choosing the right energy efficient window (frame+glass) because choosing KPJ single or double glazed wooden windows will save you adding at least 40% more heat transmission, either gain or loss, in the home if you choose other frame materials such as aluminium or steel.
Heat transmission is calculated in Watts so just imagine what 40% saving can mean to the comfort in the home and saving on energy
Your Guarantee of Excellence
KPJ windows have been tested and certified by AAAMSA, SAGGA and SAFIERA
