Digest 465 U-values for light steel frame construction
Publication Year
2002
Document Status

Abstract
Gives a method for assessing U-values of light steel-frame constructions. The method has been validated using the procedures in BS EN ISO 10211-1 and enables U-values to be calculated by means of a simplified method. It is similar to the one given in BS EN ISO 6946 but with some important differences. It can easily be incorporated into software tools used by designers, builders and enforcers of the Building Regulations wishing to calculate U-values of light steel-frame constructions. The method was developed jointly by BRE and The Steel Construction Institute.
