Studies into why completed buildings do not meet designed levels of performance focus on a number of areas, including the specification of more efficient building fabric and improved levels of knowledge across the construction industry. This presentation is a 'back to basics' look at why we specify insulation, and helps to build knowledge and confidence about U-values and condensation risk.
