The modern construction methods that will increasingly be needed by the new 2010 Building Regulations and all levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes (especially levels 5 and 6) will require high levels of insulation and air tightness. With our specialist knowledge of modern construction systems, air management and heat recovery systems, we recommend good passive low carbon design in the first instance. Highly insulated and airtight construction can cause building designs to overheat. Further to this, we offer sophisticated thermal modelling to demonstrate that overheating does not become an issue in any new build design, and to confirm the efficiency of our recommended passive measures.
