Definitions & Terminology - Eaves are BASIX calculations
What is BASIX • What is BASIX ? BASIX is the Building Sustainability Index. It is a web-based planning tool that is designed to assess Water, Thermal Comfort and Energy performance of a new home, extension or swimming pool (over 40 000 Litres). • Who needs a BASIX Certificate? A BASIX Certificate is required on all new single dwellings, dual occupancy, villas, townhouses and multi-units in NSW. A certificate is also required for alterations and additions over $50 000 and swimming pools at or over 40 000 Litres
Types of EavesBoxed Eaves Eaves Trimmers also called Soffit Bearers
AS 1684 Allowable Methods Soffit Bearers Minimum Sizes
Flush Eaves • Saves Cost • Scaffold • Material • Labour • Problems – IF Gutter Fails • Water Runs Down Walls • Pools Formed at Footings • Causing Erosion, Swelling
Eaves Width Eaves on plans are usually measured from external walls Rafter 90 x 45 Ridge 125 x 19
Always Confirm In This case 740mm from internal wall
Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ Distance From Top Plate to Bottom of Overhang
Calculating Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ STEP 1 Calculate the RISE of Hatched Triangle
Calculating Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ STEP 1 Calculate the RISE of Hatched Triangle 450mm x Tan 25⁰ = 210mm
Calculating Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ STEP 1 Calculate the RISE of Hatched Triangle 450mm x Tan 25⁰ = 210mm STEP 2 Add Birdsmouth 210 + 33 =
Calculating Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ STEP 1 Calculate the RISE of Hatched Triangle 450mm x Tan 25⁰ = 210mm STEP 2 Add Birdsmouth 210 + 33 = 243
Remember Overhang Usually Specified From External Wall but Calculated For Back of Birdsmouth Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ What is the Drop Off Cavity = 40m Brick = 110m What is the Drop Off
Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰
Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰ Remember to allow for min 12mm Clearance
Its Possible to have a Varying Drop Off Rafter 90 x 45 Pitch 25⁰
Hazards • Fall from Heights • Contact with Live Electrical Wires • Materials, Tools falling From Heights • Scaffold Collapse or Toppling over • Dust • Complete Safe Work Method Statement
Cutting FC Sheeting • Fibro Cutters • Score & Snap Knife • Grinder with Diamond Blade (Dust Mask Required)
Estimating Step 1- Calculate Number of Soffit Bearers 12500 / 600 = 20.83 = 21 +1 = 22 x2= 44 44 x 0.6 x 5% = 44 x 0.63 Fixing Plate 2 @ 12.5
Note – In this case as waste has been added already we don’t take the individual bearers up to the next 300mm as there will be to much waste.
Estimating Step 2- Calculate Fascia Length + Verge O/H = (12.5 + 2 x 0.600) x 1.05 = 14.4 x 2
Estimating Step 3- Calculate Barge Board Barge Run = Half Span + Eaves Width + Fascia + Gutter+ Plumb Cut + Waste = (3450+600+25+200+tan 25 x190) x 1.05
Estimating Step 4- Soffit Lining Soffit = 2 x Length + 4 x Barge = 2 x 12500 + 4 x 4804 = 44.216 x 1.05(5% Waste) = 46.43 / 2.4(Sheet Length) = 19.34 = 20 Sheets
Estimating Step 5- Joining Mould 20 Sheets 21 Joins x 0.6 = 12.6 x 1.05 (5% Waste) = 13.23/2.4= 5.5 = 6 Lengths
Estimating Step 6- Quad 2 x Building Length + 4 x Verge length (Rafter Centreline) + 8 x Quad (Mitred) 2 x 12500 + 4 x 3806 + 8 x 19 = 40 376 x 1.05 (5% Waste)= 42 395
