Energy efficiency
- Air tight structures achieved with less than one air change per hour.
- U values of 0.08 ( 245mm thick) to 0.28 (100mm)
- Speed of installation - Fast track building.
- Minimum waste produced on site due to off site manufacture.
- All Timber used is from fast growing trees which are replenished.
- Fast Track Building.
- Reduced dependence upon 'wet trades’
- Site time reduced - due to Panelised construction in various width modules.
- Follow on trades can begin as soon as the 'envelope’ is constructed.
- Defects minimised due to precision engineering.
- PPG 3 - excellent solution to Planning policy guidance note 3, sip enables 'rooms within roofs’ to maximise space as well as greater overall foot print utilisation.
