The qualified person will check the building physical behaviour of the designed wall,roof or floor construction and if need be, advise about improvement to achieve final specification; it is recommended that hewould cooperate closely with the holder of this Certificate.

4 Thermal performance aspects- for the purpose of U-value calculations to determine if the requirements of the Building (or other statutory) Regulations aremet, the thermal resistances of the constructions are to be calculated according to BS EN ISO 694610, BR44311, and BS EN ISO 1021112 as appropriate;

- the requirement for limiting the heat loss through the building fabric, including the effect of thermal bridging can be satisfied ifthe U-values of the building elements do not exceed the maximum values in the relevant Elemental Methods given in the National Building Regulations of England (Approved Document L) and Wales (Approved Document L), Scotland (TechnicalStandards Regulations 9), Northern Ireland (Technical Booklet F) and Ireland (Approved Document L); further information on regulations is given in section 11 of this Certificate;

- as part of the assessment ageing was considered13.

5 Condensation risk- external walls, flat roofs and ground floors incorporating the product will adequately limit the risk of interstitial condensationwhen designed in accordance with BS 52507; a condensation risk analysis shall be completed at design stage;

- when designed and installed in accordance with this Certificate the product will provide for a convection-free envelope of highvapour resistance;

- where adopted on the inside of external walls, adequate vapour control measures and permanent ventilation shall be providedto avoid possible problems of formation of interstitial condensation in the internal wall leaf.

6 Wall insulation (figures 1, 2 and 3, section 9)6.1 General

- special attention shall be given to the air tightness of the internal lining, being the most important measure to avoid excessivecondensation in the space behind the insulation;

- a vapour control layer may be considered between the internal lining and the brick wall;- the Kingspan Optim-R VIP layer shall be closely butted at all joints in accordance with the Certificate holders instructions; consideration to be given to section 5.

insulated with a material of minimum thermal resistance (R–value) of 0.60 m2.K.W-1. These constructions have the followingψ–values: 0.50 W/m.K for a steel lintel with a perforated steel base, 0.30 W.m-1.K-1 for other lintels (including steel lintels),0.04 W.m-1.K-1 for a sill and 0.05 W.m-1.K-1 for a jamb;

- ACDs are specifically targeted at new build constructions but, where applicable, they are also considered best practice for refurbishment;

7 Flat roof insulation including balconies, terraces and dormers (figures 4, 5 and 6, section 9)7.1 General

- special attention shall be given to the detailing of the perimeter connections, avoiding any non-rectangular corners; the Certificateholder’s instructions shall be followed;

- the substrate of the finished roof shall be installed with a minimum slope of 1:80 or greater; this slope can either be achieved inthe deck or in the overlay (e.g. tapered) insulation system;

- the Kingspan Optim-R VIP layer shall be closely butted at all joints in accordance with the Certificate holders instructions.

7.2 Linear Thermal Bridging- reasonable provision must be made to limit the effects of thermal bridging. The design should ensure that roof-light or ventilatorkerbs etc. are insulated with a 25 mm thick insulation board of Kingspan Thermaroof® TR27 LPC/FM or Kingspan Styrozone®. Where upstands exist a minimum 25 mm thickness of Kingspan Thermaroof® TR27 LPC/FM or Kingspan Styrozone® shouldalso be used around the perimeter of the balcony or the terrace on the internal façade of the parapets;

- a minimum distance of 300 mm should be maintained between the top of the insulation upstand and the bottom of the horizontal balcony or terrace insulation. Wall insulation should also be carried up into parapets as high as the flat roof insulationupstand;

- the Certificate holder’s Technical Service Department can be consulted for further advice.

8 Ground floor insulation (figure 7, section 9)8.1 General- unlike roofs, walls and intermediate floors, U–values for ground floors cannot be calculated with reference to the constructiondetail alone. Heat loss from ground floors depends upon the ratio of the exposed floor perimeter to the total floor area, thethickness of any basement wall and the depth of any basement.

- calculations of the thermal transmittance (U-value) of floor constructions should be carried out in accordance with BS EN ISO 694610, BR 44311, BS EN ISO 1021112 and BS EN ISO 1337018, as appropriate;

- the Kingspan Optim-R VIP Flooring System is not recommended for use in direct contact with subsoil and must be positionedabove the damp-proof membrane (DPM);

- the Kingspan Optim-R VIP layer shall be closely butted at all joints in accordance with the Certificate holders instructions;- Kingspan Optim-R VIP may also be used beneath a floating floor system with appropriate protection and substrate.

8.2 Linear Thermal Bridging- around the perimeter of the floor slab measures shall be taken in order to reduce thermal bridging; these measures concern forinstance the application of Optim-R flex;

- the top of infill panels shall be level with the top of the floor screed and the bottom shall be level with the bottom of the horizontal floor insulation and closely butted up to it.

9 Behaviour in relation to fire- the product does not prejudice the fire-resistance properties of walls, flat roofs or solid concrete ground floors. Therefore, theinsulation will not contribute to the development stages of a fire or present a smoke or toxic hazard;

- when properly installed, the product will not add significantly to any existing fire hazard;- the product will be contained within the building envelope construction by the overlay until the overlay itself is destroyed.Therefore, the products will not contribute to the development stages of a fire or present a smoke or toxic hazard;

- the continuity of fire resistance must be maintained, for example as described in: England/Wales- Approved Document B, Volume 1, Sections 5.11 to 5.12; Scotland-Mandatory Standard 2.2, clause 2.2.10; Northern Ireland-Technical Booklet E, paragraph 3.21; Ireland Building Regulations 1997 to 2011, relevant provisions;

- the use of the product will not affect the fire rating obtained by flat roofs when evaluated by assessment or test to BS 476-3:200419.
