Window and Door for 7-Stars - VIC and ACT

When it comes to evaluating the performance of your Windows and Doors, there are several factors to be considered when deciding the best options for keeping your home thermally comfortable. Glazing has the greatest impact and which glass is best depends on your climate and whether more energy is used heating or cooling your house: ‘Climate zones’ are defined by the Australian Building Codes Board, referenced in the National Construction Code and they are used in energy rating a home.

Achieving Energy Efficiency in Queensland

Climate Zones in Victoria and ACT

The climate zones in Victoria and the ACT (climate zones 6, 7 and 8) are considered heating climates, and require windows and doors with a low U Value (which denotes better insulation) and high Solar Heat Gain Co-efficient (SHGC) (to capture free heat from the sun).

For the Central Victorian region from Shepparton to the NSW border and out to Echuca (Climate zone 4), please refer to the Window and Door Specification for 7-Stars - NSW guide.

Options for improving your Energy Efficiency through glass

To make your selection easier, we've created a good, better, and best glass offer for the VIC and ACT climate zones, with tiered performance levels. While performance will be a major consideration in deciding which glass to use, other factors such as cost, window colour, availability, and lead times may also play a role. There are many other options available to meet a variety of needs; please contact your Trend representative for more information.
