Understanding Saudi Building Code (SBC 601/602) Insulation Standards
The Saudi Building Code (SBC) serves as the compulsory national standard for all residential and commercial construction projects across Saudi Arabia. It aims to optimize energy efficiency and cut HVAC cooling energy loads.
1. Thermal U-Value and R-Value Compliance
SBC mandates reducing the overall heat transfer coefficient (U-Value) for exterior walls and roofs to minimal thresholds (below 0.038 W/m·K). Al Najah Al Shamil EPS & Rockwool products are manufactured to strictly satisfy these parameters.
2. Key Benefits of SBC Compliance:
- • Up to 45% reduction in annual AC energy expenses.
- • Seamless approval during municipal building completion inspections.
- • Prolonged HVAC compressor lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
