Assists in understanding the energy efficiency provisions in NCC Volume Two that apply to houses.

NatHERS compliance pathway for energy efficiency.

Specifies the apparatus and test method for determining the flammability index of a material. Main changes in this edition of the Standard are the inclusion of a statistical evaluation of the test results, a change to the speed factor formula so that the flammability indices form a continuous range and a more detailed form of test report.

Sets out requirements for fire-rated landing doors for retarding the passage of fire through openings in fire-rated liftwells; it applies where doors are required to have a fire-rating certificate.
