MISSION STATEMENT:
To communicate and promote to industry, government and the general
community, the environmental importance of high quality aluminium foil
insulation for improving energy efficiency in modern building design.
ASSOCIATION
OBJECTIVES:
AFIA was formed to better represent the interests of the aluminium foil
thermal insulation industry.
Specific objectives of the Association include:
- To communicate the performance and benefits of
reflective foil insulation systems to the scientific community, the building
industry and the broader public.
- To promote the use of foil insulation systems
as an insulation solution in the design of buildings in which it provides
a permanent and continuous resistance against radiation and heat transfer.
- To work with State and Federal Governments to
ensure that reflective foil insulation systems are appropriately dealt
with in regards to regulations and in promotions of building energy
efficiency.
- To encourage high standards in the manufacture
of foil insulation products, and contribute to relevant Standards
Committees, ensuring that appropriate Standards are available for the
building industry.
- To promote a high standard of practice in the
installation of aluminium foil insulation systems, and specifically to
develop a Code of Practice for installation.
- To promote continuous testing & research
into reflective foil insulation systems in terms of thermal performance,
moisture, fire, health, and ecological impacts relevant to Australia’s
climatic conditions.
- To contribute to the wider effort by Government
and the insulation industry as a whole to encourage best building practice
which recognises the need to minimise energy consumption and greenhouse
gas emissions.
- To foster and support the development of a
highly professional aluminium foil insulation industry, and promote the
broader economical benefits of aluminium foil insulation to Australia as a
whole.
- To ensure the ethical behaviour of all members
is maintained at all times and to provide consumer advice and support in
relation to commercial practices within the insulation industry.
