Aggregate Concrete Block Solutions for New Part L

The Concrete Block Association (CBA) has created a 12 page guide to help specifiers and builders satisfy the requirements of the new Part L of The Building Regulations for England and Wales, conservation of fuel and power, effective 6 April 2006. The new regulations are based on a range of performance values including those for the building envelope. The guide features 14 solutions detailing typical external cavity wall constructions, involving aggregate concrete blockwork, with U-values between 0.25 and 0.30 W/m2K.
