Dow Building Solutions – manufacturer of STYROFOAM-A insulation – is
sponsoring the “Simplifying Standards, Guides and Tools” seminar
stream at Ecobuild 2011, taking place at London’s ExCel centre.
The seminar stream, which takes place over the three days of
Ecobuild (March 1st – March 3rd), will include discussions on
aligning Passivhaus construction principles with building codes and
regulations. It will also review changes that will be required in
building standards in order to meet zero carbon homes targets,
amongst other highly topical subjects.
STYROFOAM-A materials are being used to insulate what is set to be
the UK’s first rural affordable housing scheme to gain Passivhaus
certification in Wimbish, Essex and were used extensively on the
first certified Passivhaus in England, Underhill House in the
Cotswolds (pictured).
STYROFOAM-A comes in a range of thicknesses and is lightweight yet
robust with high strength and excellent moisture resistant
properties. It can be used for roofs (ROOFMATE-A), basements (PERIMATE
DI-A) and below concrete floor slabs to help prevent thermal
bridging (FLOORMATE-A).

Dow Building Solutions has produced a suite of technical guides into
