Living spaces should be arranged so that the rooms where people spend most of their hours are
located on the northern side of the unit. Uninhabited rooms, such as bathrooms and storerooms,
can be used to screen unwanted western sun or to prevent heat loss on the south-facing facades.
Living rooms should ideally be placed on the northern side.

The longer axis of the dwelling should be orientated so that it runs as near east/west as possible.

4.4.1.2 The roof overhang to the northern wall shall be sufficient to shade the windows from midday
summer sunshine in accordance with SANS 204. Windows facing east and west should be limited
in number and confined to the minimum required for daylight and ventilation.

4.4.2 Floors

Where an underfloor heating system (e.g. in-screed, underlaminate heating, undercarpet heating,
undertile heating, cut-in underfloor heating, and water-based underfloor heating) is installed, the
heating system shall be insulated underneath the slab with insulation that has a minimum R-value
of not less then 1,0.

4.4.3 External walls

4.4.3.1 Non-masonry walls shall achieve a minimum total R-value of

a) climatic zones 1 and 6: 2,2

b) climatic zones 2, 3, 4 and 5: 1,9.

4.4.3.2 The following types of masonry walling comply with the R-value requirements:

a) double-skin masonry with no cavity, plastered internally, or rendered externally; or

NOTE The cavity and grouted cavity walling systems exceed the minimum R-value of 0,35.

b) single-leaf masonry walls with a nominal wall thickness greater than or equal to 140 mm
(excluding plastering and rendering), plastered internally and rendered externally.

The requirements refer to the external walls of the habitable portions of the building fabric only.

4.4.3.3 For masonry walling types not covered in 4.4.3.2, such walls shall achieve a minimum total
R-value of 0,35. The total R-value shall be determined by means of a test conducted in accordance
with ASTM C 1363, ASTM C 518 or ASTM C 177. Surface film resistance shall be in accordance
with SANS 6946.

4.4.3.4 Other walling requirements shall be in accordance with SANS 10400-K.
