Technical Resources & Specifications
Practical specification, performance and system-selection resources for New Zealand architects, façade consultants, engineers, specifiers and contractors.
EBSA NZ supports product selection, system design, controls integration, supply and commissioning coordination. Use this page to find the right starting point, then involve our team to align the product, evidence and documentation with the project.
Find the right technical pathway
Wind and weather performance
Understand how NZ wind-zone labels translate into SLS, ULS and water-test pressures for louvres and automated openings.
Window and louvre selection
Compare architectural glass louvre systems or define the opening, actuator, locking and control requirements for automated windows.
Natural ventilation controls
Coordinate automated openings, control panels, sensors, weather inputs and building-management interfaces for day-to-day ventilation.
Smoke control systems
Develop the opening, panel, standby-power, interface and cause-and-effect requirements around the project fire strategy.
Draft specification resources
These templates provide a useful starting point for project documentation. EBSA NZ can help update the product selection, performance inputs, interfaces and scope for the current project.
Before using these documents
The downloadable PDFs are legacy draft templates and should be reviewed before issue. Request current project-specific content from EBSA NZ for tender, consent or construction documentation.
BT90 glass louvre specification
A starting template for BT90 thermally broken glass louvre documentation. Current selection should reflect the proposed size, glazing, wind and water requirements, supporting structure and operating system.
LF550 glass louvre specification
A starting template for large-format frameless glass louvre documentation. Project review establishes the louvre arrangement, glass, structure, integration details and installation methodology.
MP2 glass louvre specification
A starting template for MP2 insulated-glass louvre documentation. EBSA NZ can coordinate the SGI configuration with opening geometry, project performance requirements and the façade interface.
CDC chain drive specification
A starting template for automated-window documentation using CDC chain drives. Current actuator selection depends on the opening, sash geometry, wind load, stroke, force, locking, controls and installation arrangement.
How EBSA supports a project specification
Define the application
Confirm the opening, function, system intent, positive and negative pressures, weather requirements and architectural constraints.
Select and coordinate
Match the louvre, actuator, locking, controls and interfaces with the opening geometry and applicable technical evidence.
Document the solution
Align the specification, schedules, drawings, wiring, scope allocation, commissioning and handover requirements.

Project delivery
Information that helps us respond quickly
Send the available project information—even if the design is still developing. EBSA NZ can identify the remaining technical inputs and help build the appropriate specification pathway.
- Opening schedule, dimensions and quantity
