Need an H1 report in a rush?

Have your H1 calculations done by us. For a short while we offer to do your residential H1 calculations for you. Prices start from $200+GST and turn-around times are usually three days or less.

Interested?

Just send me your plans (as PDF files) together with your preferred insulation type (designnavigator@gmail.com). I'll have a look at them, let you know whether I need more details and and will give you a quote.

I hope this takes a bit of the pre-Christmas pressure away and you will enjoy a relaxed and wonderful Christmas and New Years break.

Sunny regards
Albrecht

PS: In case you are wondering: We can also do H1 calculations for commercial buildings.

The Design Navigator H1 Calculator is temporarily unavailable for maintenance and upgrades. It should be available again within 24h.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

This website calculates compliance with insulation targets of NZBC, Clause H1 as of 31 October 2007. It calculates compliance with the New Zealand Standard NZS4218:2004, Schedule and Calculation Methods, using the R-value targets from NZBC/H1 (October 2007) and for compliance with the Building Performance Index (BPI).

The Calculator should be used in conjunction with NZS4218:2004, which can be purchased from Standards New Zealand and the Energy Efficiency Clause H1 of the New Zealand Building Code. Note that the 2009 version of NZS4218 is not the Acceptable Solution for NZBC Clause H1 until the H1 Approved Documents refer to it. It is not clear when this will happen. Until this is the case NZS4218:2004 (modified by the R-values listed in Clause H1) is the Acceptable Solution for H1.

This program is distributed without any warranty and the author is under no circumstances liable for any undesirable consequences arising from the use of this site. The local BCA has authority to accept or reject the output of this Calculator.

To get started watch the video tutorial here .

I have recently updated the Design Navigator H1 calculator. The main new feature is that the calculator can now also calculate compliance for buildings with mixed wall construction types, i.e. non-solid walls and solid walls in the same building. There is also more detailed compliance information shown on the main page and the report view page has changed. If you find any bugs but please let me know (designnavigator@gmail.com)

Thanks very much

There currently is a bug in the Design Navigator H1 calculator, which is probably caused by changes which the ISP implemented recently.

Projects cannot be saved if they include a *previously* created construction R-value calculation table (view screen shot). The bug does not seem to occur for projects with *newly created* construction R-value tables.

You can still modify old projects and print the reports. You can also save projects, but before you do that you have to replace the old construction R-value tables with newly created ones, even if they are for the same detail.

I am working on fixing the problem.

In order to be able to save your project and to print out the compliance results you need to log in.

Note: I am regularly adding further improvements to this calculator. I am always trying to conserve any previously saved projects but suggest that you keep printed copies of the compliance reports so that you can reproduce the results should the database records be damanged.
