BCA Section J and Beyond

Apart from saving clients money on energy bills and making new buildings more comfortable, The Building Code of Australia (BCA) Section J requires insulation be installed to improve the thermal performance of all new buildings.

Composite Global is ready to help solve Section J headaches with a cost effective, long lasting solution. Our PIR and XPS range is excellent for under-soffit, under-slab, walls, roofs, floors. Glasswool is a versatile material that suits conventional insulation needs and with Rockwool makes up our range of industrial and medium- heavy duty thermal and acoustic insulation.

Composite Global specialise in being able to give the right advice to specifiers in selecting a building insulation method that meets the code and clients needs for energy efficiency requirements of BCA Section J, and beyond. THERMOMASS Insulated Concrete Panels When thinking about economy of scale, flexibility and efficient construction time, THERMOMASS makes concrete sandwich panel construction the intelligent option.

THERMOMASS integrates the insulation between two layers of concrete in a “sandwich”. This enables the mass of the building to passively regulate temperature as the insulation, further saving energy costs. THERMOMASS is the only system that uses specially designed fibre connectors that vastly reduce cracking, spalling (concrete cancer) and thermal bridging.

THERMOMASS is the most flexible and intelligent way to build and insulate with concrete. A THERMOMASS Insulated Concrete Sandwich panel for most intents and purposes follows the same architectural and structural principles of a conventional concrete panel. The difference is the thermal performance of the building and the speed of building and insulating at the same time.

A THERMOMASS Insulated Concrete Sandwich panel has an inner skin of concrete that serves as the structural/load bearing component of the building. The insulation layer and the fibre composite connectors come in between and another layer of concrete, the “skin”. Engineers will need to specify an appropriate thickness of the inner concrete layer to suit the building and wind loads of the building at hand.
