Webinar Recording - Rethinking IWI with Natural Fibre Insulation
Take a deep dive into thermal upgrades to solid walls using natural fibre insulation internally
The timber frame COP26 House showcases zero carbon, circular solutions in building, and living, using standard materials and skills available today. The house has been developed by Beyond Zero Homes, a group of more than 20 organisations from across the homebuilding sector, created and led by Peter Smith, Roderick James Architects. The house uses a range of STEICO wood fibre insulations in order to achieve its goals
6875 kg of CO2 are stored in STEICO's insulation in the COP26 house, the equivalent of 40000 miles driven by an average car.
Thermal protection:
U Value = 0,14 W/(m2K)
Heat protection:
Temperature amplitude dampling: 60
Phase shift: 16,3 h
Carbon stored in STEICO insulation in the walls:
2355 kg of CO2 equivalent to 13540 miles driven in an average car
Thermal protection:
U Value = 0,14 W/(m2K)
Heat protection:
Temperature amplitude dampling: 45
Phase shift: 15,7 h
Carbon stored in STEICO insulation in the roof:
2604 kg of CO2 equivalent to 15000 miles driven in an average car
Thermal protection:
U Value = 0,13 W/(m2K)
Heat protection:
Temperature amplitude dampling: >100
Carbon stored in STEICO insulation in the floor:
1916 kg of CO2 equivalent to 11016 miles driven in an average car
