Sunhoods & Blades
NRG Sunhoods and Blades are design for Aesthetic and Energy
Efficiency Purposes and are engineered for wind loading, not as a
trafficable area (i.e. platform/support area).
Benefits
• Design Simplicity
• Lightweight Construction
• Speed of Installation
• No more costly fabrication or forming-up
• Suitable for Residential, Commercial, Industrial and Refurbishment
• Providing a ‘polymer modified, fully reinforced render system’.
• Extensive choice of textures & colour finishes. (applied by licensed trades persons on site)
• Assist in Compliance* with BCA 2006 3.12.2.2 -Volume Two-Shading
Australian Building Codes Board -3.12.2.2 Shading -Page 542 Where shading is required to comply with 3.12.2.1, it must –
a) be provided by an external permanent projection, such as a verandah, balcony, fixed canopy, eaves, shading hood …... which
I) extends horizontally on both sides of the glazing.....
II) provide the equivalent shading to (i).....
b) be provided by an external shading device, which
I) is capable of restricting at least 80% of the summer solar radiation; &
II) if adjustable, is readily operated.
Explanatory information:
1) Shading devices can include fixed louvers, However, such devices need to be designed for the climate and latitude to ensure that summer sun penetration is restricted, while winter sun access is achieved.
2) Gutters can only be considered as providing shading if attached.
3) Shading devices can be either attached or located … may be considered toprovide shading to glazing if it complies with 3.12.2.2(b).
