Technical Resources
Our Technical Library provides building professionals with total system solutions, specification clauses and CAD Drawings for download. DCTech can also provide general assistance with design detailing, building compliance codes and installation guidelines.
By providing DCTech with your project specifications, calculations can be quickly and accurately carried out to give R-Values, dew point and condensation risk analysis and the required insulation thicknesses.

Total R-Value Calculations
Proctor Group Australia has partnered with Better Building to calculate total system R-values using its published methodology based on AS/NZS 4859.2:2018 and, where applicable, NZS 4214:2006. Refer to Better Building’s calculation methodology for details of the calculation procedures and assumptions.
Condensation Risk Analysis
Proctor Group Australia has partnered with Better Building to undertake hygrothermal simulations to assess condensation risk. Refer to Better Building’s guidance on ASHRAE 160 and AIRAH DA07 for information on assessment methods and modelling assumptions, including initial material moisture content.
