SANS 10400-XA Overview & Application
Full glazing analysis and spectral data calculations for SANS 10400-XA compliance including U-values, SHGC assessment, and visible light transmittance evaluation for building envelope specifications.
Module Overview
SANS 10400-XA establishes the energy efficiency requirements for buildings in South Africa. This module provides a comprehensive overview of the regulation and its specific requirements for glazing and shading systems. You will learn to interpret the regulation's provisions, understand how shading contributes to compliance, and identify the documentation required for municipal submission. This foundational knowledge is essential for all subsequent SANS compliance modules.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify the key provisions of SANS 10400-XA that relate to glazing and shading specifications Analyse building designs to determine applicable energy efficiency requirements Apply the regulation's calculation methodologies for glazing performance assessment Evaluate different compliance pathways and their implications for shading specification Design initial compliance strategies that incorporate shading as a performance element
