Window and Door Specification for 7 Stars
Climate Zones in QLD
The Queensland coastal region (climate zone 2) is primarily a cooling climate, so it is most important that your Windows and Doors have a low Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC), as you want to prevent the heat from the sun from entering your house.
At the same time, climate zone 2 experiences mild winters, so having windows with a lower U Value is equally important. A lower U Value contributes to energy efficiency by minimising heat loss and reducing the need for heating in cooler seasons. In turn, this lowers energy consumption and associated heating costs.
