Guide to the Code for Sustainable Homes |
|
The SIG Insulations guide to the Code for Sustainable Homes has been designed as a reference point for contractors and specifiers to use when trying to achieve different levels of the code.
It identifies the key issues and offers a clear and concise breakdown of how to achieve the required levels. The guide features case studies which highlight the different insulation requirements for specific levels of the code, and shows how these compare to Part L compliant homes, thereby making it easier to see where improvements must be made.
The guide also explains why the code is important, what services we can offer to help you and what advantages can be gained from building to higher levels of the code.

Guide to Sustainable Insulation Materials |

Quite simply, all insulation is good insulation as all insulation has the potential to reduce CO2 emissions. Therefore, harmonising insulation choices with the way we run our homes can help to reduce the problem of climate change.
Whilst all insulation is good, there are still a number of factors which must be considered when looking at a material’s sustainable credentials. It is important to know where a material comes from, how much energy is used in its manufacture and transportation, and what happens to it after it has been used.
SIG Insulations has produced a pocket sized Guide to Sustainable Insulation Materials.
The guide looks at the many different aspects that define sustainability and relates these criteria to the principal insulation materials. Information can easily be found on a specific material’s production, operational impact and post-life sustainable credentials.
The guide is designed to help contractors and specifiers in choosing the right sustainable materials for their projects. The information has been condensed into a simple to understand format, which will provide you with the answers you need in a quick and easy way.
