Product Focus
ENERGY SAVING TRUST ENHANCED CONSTRUCTION DETAILS
Until recently there has been little attention given to heat losses that occur at the junctions between building elements and around openings.
Enhanced Construction Details developed by the Energy Saving Trust Housing programme focuses on this issue and provides in-depth, practical guidance.
Developed in association with an industry working group, these details improve on the performance delivered by Accredited Construction Details. By using the complete set of three Enhanced Construction Details and ensuring that all remaining details achieve the ACD standards, designers and builders will be able to use a reduced thermal bridging y-value in SAP of 0.04 W/m2k.
