Reducing the Performance Gap Through Fabric First

Description

Creating thermally efficient buildings is critical. All too often buildings are created and there is a performance gap - the difference between as designed and as built. This presentation looks at the performance gap and why it exists and the impact. It looks at how it can be addressed with a fabric first approach and what the benefits of continuous insulation and calculated construction details are. It also looks at understanding the impact of thermal bridging and improving airtightness.
