Overview
It is a common risk that if buildings do not meet the thermal standards originally specified during the design phase, poor conditions and increased energy costs can occur. Closing this ‘performance gap’ is essential to support long-term performance.
Meeting thermal targets is not only vital to keep buildings warm and energy costs down, but is now more closely controlled from a regulatory perspective. The performance gap has been recognised and addressed in recent updates to Approved Document L, which now states that suitable photographic evidence must be provided at both the design stage and the as-built stage for assessment.
Installing insulation correctly is key to ensuring that it performs as expected within the application. This CPD covers all the essentials for closing the thermal performance gap.
