Marine-climate intelligence for timber framing, cladding interfaces, subfloors, high rainfall and earthquake-related movement clues.
Frequent wind-driven rain, mild temperatures and long damp periods make drying capacity and detailing critical.
Cool temperateHeating-season condensation combines with long wet periods and retrofit-sensitive ventilation.
Alpine / high elevationSnow, wind, freeze-thaw and strong solar exposure combine with large temperature differences.
Raised timber floors, weatherboard cladding and simple roof forms.
1940–1979Timber framing, fibre-cement or weatherboard cladding and limited insulation.
1980–2004More complex forms and changing cladding practice, requiring careful weathertightness interpretation.
2005–presentDrained cavities, improved insulation and evolving ventilation practice.
