AS/NZS 4859.2:2018
Thermal insulation materials for buildings - Part 2: Design
Provides clear and concise requirements for determination and reporting of total R-values and system R-values to promote greater consistency of these calculations within the Australian and New Zealand marketplaces. This standard covers (a) Standard assumptions for the calculation of system and total thermal resistance of insulation products used in thermal calculations; (b) A prescriptive calculation methodology for determining the thermal resistance of airspaces with parallel bounding surfaces of varying emissivity; (c) A range of conversion coefficients for multiple insulation types; and (d) Prescriptive reporting requirements for demonstrating total R-value and system R-value calculations.
