The following is a general representation and introduction to the DTS Provisions for thermal bridging in residential buildings.
It covers the DTS Provisions for thermal bridging in Class 1 buildings (houses), the sole-occupancy units (SOUs) of Class 2 buildings (apartments) and common areas of Class 2 buildings (apartment buildings). The information presented provides a national overview of the NCC and does not contain any state or territory variations.
