The Energy category has a minimum standard at every Code Level. Will the basic Tarmac Topblock wall / floor construction have to change?
A The contribution to the energy equation from walls and floors or other building elements will not be as significant as previous changes to the thermal regulations, but it is inevitable that some improvements will be required to contribute to the overall solution. For meeting the higher code levels U-values of walls down to 0.20W/m2K are anticipated. Improvements to wall and floor constructions are available that will make a valuable contribution to achieving the requirements, although higher Code levels will not be obtainable without the use of renewable energy and changes to how the internal environment of homes is controlled.
