ISOVER HELPS WITH ENERGY LEVELS
 Space
and hot water heating accounts for almost 90% of a
household’s energy costs but coincidentally 90% of that
could be saved if the home was insulated to Passive
House standards, according to Saint-Gobain Isover UK.
Data in Isover’s new guide to planning and realising the
Multi-Comfort building of the future shows the energy
demands of a typical one-family house can be as low as
15kWh/m²a for a very low energy home while its CO2
emissions can be just 2kg/m²a.
At the other end of the spectrum, the energy demands for
a home with completely insufficient thermal insulation
can be as high as 300kWh/m²a with CO2 emissions of
60kg/m²a. A home like this could use as much as 30
litres of heating oil per m² of living space per year.
In between, a low-energy home could have energy demands
of 40kWh/m²a and CO2 emissions of 10kg/m²a while a home
with just insufficient thermal insulation (typically
those built in the 1950s and 60s but ripe for
renovation) up to 150kWh/m²a with CO2 emissions of
30kg/m²a.
Optimum building location and positioning of windows and
doors as well as very high levels of insulation and a
tight building envelope all help to reduce the energy
consumption of a standard house built to current
Building Regulations from 8€/m² per year to 1€/m² for a
Multi-Comfort House.
“Built for the future – The Isover Multi-Comfort House”
discusses the concept, advises on how to design and plan
to it, and shows case studies of new-build and
refurbished houses, apartments, offices and schools. It
also details the sustainability of mineral glass wool
insulation and is available from Isoverpr@saint-gobain.com.
