[QUOTE="suffolksmallholder, post: 3736264, member: 1498"] There is a thought process on solar gain in relation to the suns position throughout the year. The Australians use this to a far greater effect as the sun is more powerful in the Southern hemisphere. In Europe we're still learning;) although the Scandinavian countries have taught us to consider insulation as a major part of the construction. The combination of the two is useful!:rolleyes: When I first started in the late 70's, cavity walls were the most scientific part of the build:scratchhead: Now putting insulation in tops that:LOL: For anyone who is in/visiting Wales it's worth wisiting the CAT [URL]http://www.cat.org.uk/index.html[/URL] Cold bridging was known about and woe betide an apprentice who used a LBC Fletton as a corner spacer in a breeze-block wall. They had to be removed to the dissaproval of all the other apprentices in the gang.....:mad: Looking at new build EPC rating against those of a decade ago is shocking with the average property in this part of the world reaching F, better E and the best I've seen for sale is rated with a D. New builds are the high end of B. Big difference. The potentials to improve are not much better either on the older ones. [/QUOTE]
