The new draft Energy Efficiency Standards ( SANS10400-XA 2nd edition) has been published for public comment.

Introduction.

Since a couple of year ago we had been informed that new SANS10400-XA standards are being worked on and will be published soon.

A couple of websites had information on what could possible be in the new Standard. One I can refer to is this article from Building and Décor : https://www.buildinganddecor.co.za/sans-10400xa-is-changing-this-is-what-you-should-know/

The draft standards have been made available free of charge for public comment until 24 March 2020.
