1. Sustainable Construction Methods

2. Structures Sustainable construction techniques include:
Highly insulated building envelope
Airtight construction
Proper ventilation (heat exchanger)

3. Wall Structures
Energy efficiency of building fabric (can it be improved?)

4. Wall Structures
Timber Frame Wall structure giving a U-Value of 0.25

5. Wall Structures
Brick Block Wall structure giving a U-Value of 0.25

6. Suspended Timber Floor
Suspended timber floor with a U-Value of 0.16

7. Roof Structures Roof construction using a Patent insulation which
is only a few millimetres’
thick.
This can be added to
130mm glasswool
Insulation which will give
you a U value 0.20

8. Recycling Management on Construction Sites:
Provision of clearly labelled skips for waste timber, metals, plasterboard, cardboard & plastics.
Use traceability system to track recyclable materials once they leave site.
Transport Impacts: Avoidance of double handling (avoiding part-load deliveries) ordering local materials .
