Achieving Part L Simply and Cost Effectively

Keystone Insights is a series of video interviews with housebuilders and consultants sharing their views on sustainability, fabric first design and how to meet our regulatory targets.

Creating homes and buildings fit for the future in the face of a changing climate is clearly overdue but in light of the changes to Part L, what will the new regulations mean for the construction industry?

In this video, Director and Sustainability Consultant at AES, Alex Brooks, shares his insights and discusses the importance of collaboration with product manufacturers when trying to meet Part L regulations and climate change targets. Alex also discusses how solutions such as Hi-therm+ can reduce thermal bridging and improve the energy efficiency of the building fabric, without increasing costs.

Alex explains how it is important to assess the fabric of the build identifying key junctions for thermal bridging including lintels and choose a thermally efficient option such as Hi-therm+ Lintels.

Hi-therm+ Lintels have proven very popular with developers as it provides a cost-effective solution to reducing thermal bridging and facilitates a fabric first approach to energy efficiency as well as being easy to install.
