The Insulation Council of Australia & New Zealand (ICANZ) focuses on the application of insulation technology to improve energy efficiency in Australia and New Zealand. ICANZ is dedicated to ensuring that the use of the right insulation continues to be one of the single most cost efficient ways of achieving energy efficiency, and reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions.
Who We Are
ICANZ commissions, collects and curates research and statistics that help inform responsible Government policy at State and Federal level. A commitment to insulation best practice ensures local communities in both Australia and New Zealand are realising the wide-reaching benefits delivered by appropriate insulation.
ICANZ seeks state and federal government regulation that improve the energy efficiency of commercial and residential buildings.
ICANZ provides input into how more thermally efficient homes and buildings will not only help to provide greater occupant comfort, but also reduce energy costs to heat and cool the building. These strategies will be key to achieving the Federal and State governments goals on carbon emissions reduction and improving the performance of housing and buildings.
MEMBERS
ICANZ members are at the forefront of the insulation industry, locally and worldwide. Our members all demonstrate a commitment to professionalism, product excellence and outstanding service.
ALLIANCE PARTNERS
ICANZ work with Alliance Partners, where together we advocate the role that insulation plays in the energy efficiency of homes and buildings, provide information on professional installation practices and promote regulatory governance that supports the decarbonisation of the Australian economy.
WHAT WE DO
Our activities include submissions and representations to government in the development of policy and regulatory change.
Federal and state governments have now set goals on carbon emissions reduction and improving the performance of housing and buildings will contribute to these goals. More thermally efficient homes will result in great occupant comfort and reduced energy costs to heat and cool the home.
We also offer commentary on the current state of the market and the global and local factors that influence the insulation industry.
Roof & Ceiling Insulation
Installing roof and ceiling insulation can save up to 45% (or more) on heating and cooling costs.
WALL Insulation
Insulating your walls can typically save around 15% on heating and cooling costs.
Floor Insulation
Insulating the underfloor will help to control heat entry and heat loss
Duct Insulation
Assists in delivering the intended heating and cooling load throughout the building and reduce energy lost.
ADMINISTRATIVE PROJECTS
ICANZ is actively involved in the formulation and revision of multiple projects, standards and regulations governing the performance and installation requirements for insulation industry.
INSULATION ROADMAP
Industry-led roadmap for quality control and safety in insulation installation.
STANDARDS AND REGULATIONS
ICANZ is actively involved in the formulation and revision of standards and regulations.
Training & Resources
This tool is designed to equip new build insulation installers, retrofit ceiling insulation installers and other trades, as well as trades handling insulation, to comply with NCC energy efficiency requirements.
