Window into the Future: Closing the gap in weathertightness, energy efficiency, condensation and fire performance
Description
Window into the Future: Closing the Gap
The joint between window frame and wall is a leading source of air leakage and water ingress, yet the NCC offers no prescriptive solution for sealing it. No Australian test method evaluates its durability either.
This event brings together local industry, international experience and technical research. Together we’ll look at where Australia stands and what a workable path forward could look like.
Window manufacturers, industry leaders and policy makers.
Lineup
Russell Harris | Head of Technical, Australian Glass & Window Association (AGWA)
The state of windows in Australia: where the industry stands today, the issues being seen in the field, and the gaps in current regulation and testing.
Graham Finch, MASc, P.Eng (keynote) | Principal and Senior Specialist, RDH Building Science Inc. (Canada)
Lessons from Canada: how other jurisdictions have approached window installation, sealing and durability testing, and what Australia can learn from them.
Jesse Clarke | Technical Innovation Manager Oceania, pro clima
A tested approach to compliant window sealing: a method adapted from IFT Rosenheim guideline MO-01/1 to AS/NZS 4284 and AS 4055 wind loads. He’ll share results from thermal, mechanical and wind-load ageing, and show how the evidence supports NCC compliance under H2P2 and H6P2.
