Mind the insulation gap –why stability and continuity are key for long-term performance

On-demand

Overview

A 2014 report by Zero Carbon Homes found that 16% of new-build properties showed clear evidence of the gap between designed and as-built performance. With the challenges of translating specification into practice in mind, this panel discussion explores the risks of performance gaps in insulation, the long-term implications of these, and why material specification is key to closing the gap. The panel will examine how best to secure long-term performance from a research and practical perspective.

Key discussion points will include:

Importance of measured evidence and a multi-dimensional approach to specification
Ensuring continuity of performance from plans to post-occupancy
New test data examining the natural properties of stone wool
