Results from over 8 years of independent research proves that, compared to lightweight cladding:

• Brick homes are more energy efficient.
• The thermal mass of bricks save lifetime operational carbon emissions

This research is based on ‘A Study of the Thermal Performance of Australian Housing, University of Newcastle, 2011-2017, and is currently being updated to changes contained in the National Construction Code 2022 residential energy efficiency provisions including an increase in the thermal performance of homes to the equivalent of a 7 star energy rating.
