Floor insulation

摘要

A BASF insulated flooring system has been used in the refurbishment of a Victorian stable block at BRE's headquarters in Watford, Hertfordshire, to provide an overall floor U-value of 0.14W/m~2K. The company claims this is considerably less than the proposed improvements for the new Part L of the Building Regulations.rnThe conversion of the stable block highlights the significant contribution energy-efficient refurbishment can make in reducing UK carbon emissions, with the aim of encouraging industry to raise standards of practice.
