    Brochure


    The UK Timber Frame Associations solution to the new Part L1A:
     
    Comply without costing the Earth
     
    Guidance on how Timber Frame can comply with the April 2006 Building Regulation for the Conservation of Fuel and Power.  Key points about the regulation, the route to compliance and how timber frame can help including The 140mm Solution are covered.

    A high-performance timber frame specification is capable of delivering a highly cost-effective and significant contribution towards the total energy savings requirement.  Also well constructed timber frame dwellings can comfortably deliver significantly better levels of air permeability than the required limit.

    As well as energy savings, building in timber frame saves CO2.  During 2005, about 50,000 timber frame units were built in the UK saving approximately 200,000 tonnes of CO2, equal to the emissions from 70,000 small cars each driving 10,000 miles.
