Scandia-Hus, a UK-based designer and supplier of Swedish energy-saving, timber-framed homes, has achieved U-values in two show homes of 0.14 in the roofs and 0.16 in the walls by using Actis Hybrid system products. It is in the process of creating a third to the same specification that will act both as a show home and an educational tool to showcase the components of a timber-frame building. The 249m2, three-bedroom chalet bungalow, built to Scandia-Hus' Mulberry design, will have brick exterior cladding and a clay tile roof. The first floor will be used as a Scandia-Hus seminar space. Once completed, architects expect it will offer the same U-values achieved in the initial two buildings.
