The importance of energy efficiency & Dowell’s impressive solution!
In the dynamic realm of residential construction, builders in Australia are constantly challenged to balance evolving regulatory requirements with the growing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient housing. As the industry witnesses shifts in building codes and standards, the spotlight on energy efficiency becomes increasingly prominent.
Meet higher standards of sustainability and energy efficiency.
With the recent changes to the National Construction Code 2022 (NCC 2022), the bar has been raised once again. As of 2022, the minimum standards for thermal comfort in new homes have been increased from 6 to 7 stars out of 10 according to NatHERS ratings. This shift underscores the growing importance of energy efficiency in residential construction, not only as a regulatory requirement but also as a fundamental aspect of responsible building practices.
Enter Dowell’s Thermaline
Windows & doors that are a frontrunner in sustainable and modern net-zero-energy projects.
ThermaLine® windows from Dowell are engineered to provide unparalleled comfort for homeowners by effectively regulating exterior weather extremes and preventing the infiltration of heat or cold into the living spaces. This results in a luxurious interior environment that sets a new standard for comfort and sophistication.
‘Thermally Broken’ Aluminium Joinery
At the heart of ThermaLine® windows lies an innovative feature known as ‘thermally broken’ aluminium joinery. Unlike traditional aluminium windows, which conduct heat or cold, thermally broken windows incorporate a minimum of two aluminium parts – one for the interior and one for the exterior – that are structurally joined together by a Polyamide insulator. This design effectively minimizes thermal transfer, creating a barrier against external temperature fluctuations and enhancing overall energy efficiency.
Aesthetically pleasing, Outstanding performance
Dowell ThermaLine® windows are not just aesthetically pleasing; they also offer outstanding performance in all climatic conditions. By significantly reducing heat loss or gain through windows, these products contribute to achieving energy ratings of 7 stars or better, aligning seamlessly with the updated requirements of the NCC 2022.
Commitment to Sustainability
Incorporating Dowell ThermaLine® windows into residential construction projects not only ensures compliance with regulatory standards but also represents a proactive commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. By prioritising energy efficiency, builders can not only reduce their environmental footprint but also provide homeowners with spaces that are comfortable, cost-effective to maintain, and future-proofed against rising energy costs.
