Building a house is difficult, with many trades, jobs, and supplies that need to be coordinated and work together. And each building stage poses particular challenges for thermal performance.
To help, SBA has created the following Thermal QA Checklist to make achieving a good outcome straightforward. Feel free to modify it to suit your build types and use as you see fit.
We have also created the following video presentation that explains each point on the checklist, and gives a pictorial tour of where buildings can fail thermally in standard construction and what to do about it. It is highly recommended that you watch the video before using the checklist.
SBA gives the checklist in good faith, but have no specific knowledge of your build. All responsibilities and liabilities remain with the builder and design team. Where any conflict with NCC, Standards, or plans exist, codes take precedence and the builder should check with the designer where unsure.
