SANS 204 Energy Efficiency Requirements
Energy performance modelling per SANS 204 including heat gain calculations, cooling load implications, and the quantified impact of shading systems on total building energy consumption.
Module Overview
SANS 204 provides the deemed-to-satisfy requirements for energy efficiency in buildings. This module focuses specifically on how shading systems contribute to meeting SANS 204 requirements, covering thermal performance calculations, energy modelling considerations, and the documentation needed to demonstrate compliance. You will learn to quantify the energy benefits of different shading solutions and present these in a format that engineers and energy consultants can verify.
Learning Outcomes
- Identify SANS 204 requirements that are directly influenced by shading system selection Analyse energy performance data to quantify shading contribution to building efficiency Apply deemed-to-satisfy calculation methods for shading system compliance verification Evaluate the cost-effectiveness of different shading solutions in achieving energy targets Calculate the specific energy savings achievable through optimised shading specification
