Curtain Walls & Building Regulations

A curtain wall is an exterior covering that covers windows and other transparent surfaces. The curtain wall’s materials include steel, wood, and fabric. These materials have different thermal conductivity, so the thermal break between the aluminum and the glass must be suitable for the temperature difference between them. A true thermal break is a minimum of 1/4 inch thick, while polyester reinforced nylon or poured and debridged polyurethane is up to 1 inch thick. The insulation layer between the window and the curtain wall should be insulated to avoid heat transfer.

The Role of Airtightness in Reducing Operational Carbon Emissions

Understanding the Impact of Airtightness on Reducing Operational Carbon Emissions in Buildings

Airtightness plays a pivotal role in reducing operational carbon emissions, particularly within the UK’s commitment to sustainable building practices. By enhancing airtightness, buildings can significantly diminish heat loss, curtail energy consumption, and lower carbon emissions. This reduction not only aligns with stringent UK building regulations but also promotes long-term affordability and energy efficiency. Implementing robust airtightness measures can thus serve as a crucial strategy in the UK’s efforts to combat climate change, representing a fundamental component in the nation’s pursuit of a low-carbon future.

Get EPC Assessments That Fit Your Home and Needs

We care about helping you get the most out of your property, and that starts with understanding how it uses energy. An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how your home or building scores, from A to G, and gives real advice to help you improve. Whether you’re selling, renting or building, we make sure your EPC is done properly by trained assessors who know what to look for, things like insulation, heating and lighting. We also explain everything clearly, so you’re not left guessing. If you’re making changes or building from scratch, we can do SAP calculations too, just give us a shout.
