Thermal Bridging in Residential Design
$99.00 GST
Identify and design out thermal bridging in residential projects. CPD on detailing, NatHERS impact and compliance for designers and energy assessors.
Description
This course provides a structured introduction to thermal bridging in Australian residential design and explains how it affects energy performance and condensation risk across common construction systems. It examines how the NCC 2022 Performance Requirements address thermal performance and highlights upcoming expectations indicated in the NCC 2025 preview. The course guides participants through identifying high risk junctions such as wall floor, wall ceiling, window wall and balcony connections, and applying practical design strategies to mitigate heat loss. It also focuses on improving documentation quality and coordination between designers and energy assessors to ensure modelling assumptions align with actual construction. Through real world case studies, it demonstrates how poor detailing and communication can lead to compliance issues, performance gaps and costly remediation.
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.
