Course Content
★★★★★
This CPD course explains how insulation documentation is reviewed for compliance under the NCC and why it is frequently flagged during approvals. It outlines how insulation is assessed across design drawings, energy modelling, certification, and construction stages. Participants learn where insulation requirements sit within the NCC and how different compliance pathways affect documentation expectations. The course provides practical guidance on coordinating drawings, schedules, specifications, and energy reports to reduce RFIs and approval delays. Real case studies demonstrate common documentation mistakes and how clearer, more consistent detailing can prevent redesign, substitutions, and certification issues.
This CPD provides general guidance on professional responsibilities and documentation practices. It does not constitute legal advice or replace project-specific contractual or statutory obligations.
This session is designed for
Architects
Building Designers
Energy Assessors
Building Surveyors
Licensed Builders
By the end of this course, participants will understand where insulation requirements sit within the NCC and how they are applied in practice. They will understand how insulation documentation is interpreted by designers, energy assessors, certifiers, and building surveyors. Participants will be able to identify the key information reviewers expect to see in drawings, schedules, specifications, and energy reports. They will understand the difference between Deemed to Satisfy and Performance Solution pathways and how each affects documentation requirements. They will also understand how clear, consistent insulation documentation reduces RFIs, approval delays, and certification risks.
This ensures that CPD efforts align with professional regulatory requirements.
What’s Included
This course examines how insulation is regulated under the NCC and how those requirements translate into real approval expectations. It explores how insulation documentation is reviewed at design, energy assessment, building approval, and certification stages. The course analyses the difference between Deemed to Satisfy and Performance Solution pathways and how each affects documentation standards. It investigates common documentation failures that trigger RFIs, approval delays, and on site compliance issues. It also examines real case studies to demonstrate how clearer coordination and detailing can prevent costly redesign and certification problems.
Why Take This CPD Session?
