Australian Wind Regions A, B, C

In Australia, regions prone to cyclonic winds are classified according to a specific wind classification system to ensure buildings and structures can withstand the forces generated by cyclones. The Australian Standard AS/NZS 1170.2 outlines these classifications. The cyclonic wind classifications typically include the following: Each region is assigned specific design wind speeds, which are used

Australian Non Cyclonic Wind Region Classification N1 N2 N3

In Australia, building standards and codes often categorize areas based on their susceptibility to cyclonic winds. However, for regions that are not prone to cyclones, such as many parts of southern Australia, the wind classification system is denoted by N ratings: N1, N2, N3, and N4. These ratings signify the wind speeds that structures in

R-Value- It’s got nothing to do with blanket or bracket brands

You’re absolutely correct. The R-value of insulation materials is a standardized measure of their thermal resistance, and it’s not dependent on any specific brand or type of insulation blanket or bracket. Architects and building designers are responsible for determining the appropriate insulation requirements for a building based on factors like climate, building codes, and energy
