Structures
Sustainable construction techniques include:
• Highly insulated building envelope
• Airtight construction
• Proper ventilation (heat exchanger)

Roof construction using a
Patent insulation which
is only a few millimetres’
thick.
This can be added to
130mm glasswool
Insulation which will give
you a U value 0.20

Recycling
. Management on Construction Sites:
Provision of clearly labelled skips for waste timber, metals, plasterboard, cardboard & plastics.
Use traceability system to track recyclable materials once they leave site.
Transport Impacts: Avoidance of double handling (avoiding part-load deliveries) ordering local materials
