Abstract

Gives guidance on compliance to satisfy the requirements of Building Regulations Approved Document L1 2006. The objective of the new regulations is to meet the requirements of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) which aims to further combat climate change and requires buildings to be better insulated and make use of more efficient heating systems. The new regulations are based on a range of performance values including those for the building envelope. The guide features 14 solutions detailing typical external cavity wall constructions, involving aggregate concrete blockwork, with U-values between 0.25 and 0.30W/m²K.
