2021 (2) WALLS: EXTERNAL INSULATION ON SOLID MASONRY ...

2021

INTRODUCTION

The details in this section have been developed for a range of externally insulated single leaf masonry/hollow block wall constructions. The Introduction document "Limiting Thermal Bridging and Air Infiltration Acceptable Construction Details" provides practical information with regards to implementation of these details onsite. This guide should be read in conjunction with these details. Details are given for the junctions with a range of roof, ground floor and internal floor types, as well as at external wall opes.

The details are indicative. They focus on the issues of thermal performance and air tightness. Other issues are not considered fully. Insulation thicknesses for the main building elements have not been provided, as these depend on the thermal properties of the materials chosen, as well as on the desired U-value.

Masonry materials shown on the drawings are blocks and bricks. Other masonry materials, including precast and insitu concrete, may be substituted without loss of thermal performance or increased technical risk. The use of thermally resistant materials, beyond that depicted, will naturally increase the thermal performance of the building fabric.

All materials and workmanship are to be installed to Technical Guidance Document D "Materials and Workmanship."

All details are shown with a thin coat render system for simplification. However, a range of cladding may be used without any loss of thermal performance. All external cladding systems should be proper materials as defined in Part D. It is recommended that insulating and cladding components

are part of a system to ensure compatibility.

These diagrams illustrate good practice for design and construction of interfaces only in respect to ensuring thermal performance and air barrier continuity. The guidance must be implemented with due regard to all other requirements imposed by the Building Regulations.

Where these construction details are used for the Target U-values provided in the Appendix D, Table D2 of TGD L 2021 the psi values published in Table D2 may be used to calculate the actual Thermal Bridging heat loss for a dwelling for key thermal bridging junctions in that dwelling.

Technical Guidance Document B and Supplementary Guidance to TGD B provides guidance in relation to the provision of cavity barriers in air cavities, cavity barriers within combustible insulation layers and fire protection of structural elements.

The 2021 edition of the ACDs updates the drawings to take account of industry practice. The performance requirements remain the same as for the 2011 edition.

(2) WALLS: EXTERNAL INSULATION ON SOLID MASONRY / HOLLOW BLOCK WALLS

2021

This is an externally supported balcony (the balcony slab is

not a continuation of the floorslab) where the wall insulation

is continuous and not bridged by the balcony slab.

Value of Ψ is applied to each dwelling.

Where two building elements have one U-value above its

target while the other is below its target U-value, the

aggregate percentage change from the respective target

U-values in the table should not exceed +20% for the Psi (ψ)

value to be valid, i.e. if for the 0.15 U-value wall, if the U-value

was increased by 10% above the wall target U-value (from 0.15

to 0.165), then the roof U-value could be at most 10% below

the roof target U-value (from 0.14 to 0.126), because the

aggregate change would then be 20%.

ψ values for a Target U-value for the wall of 0.15 W/m²K can be

used for a range of U-values from of 0.12 W/m²K to 0.17

W/m²K for the construction type specified. The U-values of the

flanking elements to the wall can vary from the flanking element

target U-value as follows: Pitched roof insulation on slope,

insulation on ceiling 0.11 to 0.16 W/m²K; Flat Roof = 0.11 to

0.17 W/m²K; Ground Floor = 0.12 to 0.18 W/m²K

ψ values for a Target U-value for the wall of 0.18 W/m²K for the construction type specified. The U-values of the flanking

elements to the wall can vary from the flanking element target

U-value as follows: Pitched roof insulation on slope, insulation

on ceiling = 0.13 to 0.16 W/m²K; Flat Roof = 0.16 to 0.2

W/m²K; Ground Floor = 0.16 to 0.21 W/m²K.

Psi value is for whole junction. Half the value should be

applied to each dwelling on either side of the junction
